I was banging away at a reply for JES2 Exit 5 when I realized that most CANCEL commands are issued to MVS, not JES. Where would a 'C my-pet-task' be intercepted?

Alternatively, our SyzMPF/z product can intercept the cancel command and keep it from being done when you don't want it to be, so I'm sure that most if not all other automation products can do that same thing. You could also write a simple command exit which would intercept ALL cancel commands and do any kind of processing you want to it (including ignore it for certain jobs/tasks) and have that same exit allow some other command (like XANCLE instead of "CANCEL" or "C") to actually work for those jobs that are your favorites. Obviously our product makes this really easy, (it allows scripts with many, many variables to help decide if things should be allowed to happen or modify the commands and/or send email or text messages if/when commands are changed) and everyone should buy it from us, but it's really not that difficult to design and write your own for simple single use things like this.
