CANCEL USER command

The CANCEL USER command terminates a user session. When a user has multiple sessions with the same user ID, you can use the IP parameter to cancel a specific session.

Use IP=addr:port when multiple sessions exist for the same User ID. This will help to identify a specific user session.

Format:

z/OS:

/F jobname,CANCEL USER userid [IP=addr:port]

jobname

Sends a modify command to the running started task or address space.

CANCEL USER userid

Immediately disconnects the specified logged‑in user.

IP=addr:port optional

Cancels only the session from the specified client IP address and port, if the user has multiple sessions.
