$TsoCan
Cancel program invoked via $TsoAtt
Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. There is no OO equivalent for the $TsoCan function.
This function cancels a specific task running a program invoked via $TsoAtt or all such tasks initiated by the current user.
This function requires the special version of the TSO full screen interface to Model 204 that is distributed by Sirius Software.
The $TsoCan function accepts one argument and returns a numeric status code or count.
The first argument is a number that is the task id of the "task" for which status is requested. This is an optional argument and if omitted indicates that you want all tasks to be cancelled.
Syntax
<section begin="syntax" /> %RESULT = $TsoCan(task_id) <section end="syntax" />
$TsoCan Function
%RESULT is set either to the status code for the cancelled task or to an error code.
$TsoCan normally returns the status code of the cancelled task. If there is some error that prevents the task from being cancelled, however, a negative error code is returned to indicate the problem.
-1 - Connection broken -4 - Not a TSO full screen IODEV (IODEV 11) -8 - Incorrect version of TSO interface -20 - LOUTPB too small
