Refer to the "Use" section of this command.
Use
You may issue this command from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break
has no effect on this command. It is executable only from the console unless it is
distributed to users with the ALLOW command, or the JOBSECURITY command is set to LOW
with AM or SM capability.
=ABORTJOB may be issued only from the console.
NOTE Users with AM capability may only abort jobs and sessions within their own
account. Users with SM capability may abort jobs and sessions across
accounts.
