Usage notes

The CHKABORT command aborts a pending checkpoint by causing it to time out immediately. This command is useful when a pending checkpoint is causing too great a delay in the initiation of new requests or Host Language Interface jobs.

Also, any outstanding transaction is ended and the USE=IGNORE attribute applies to the command.
