Hi Barbara, There seems to be a new command STOP REGION ABDUMP FORCE, but only for some status of ims regions: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH05432 But it is not properly documented, so we tried several things, but it did not work. DFSSTOP0 : Code has been modified to allow region to be cancelled by new command /STOP REG ABDUMP FORCE when region is in right status. A new DFS5060I error message will be issued if the region cannot be stopped as it is not in WAIT-INIT-INPROG or TERM-PENDING status.Maybe abdump needs to be issued first, but we have not tried this yet.

Doesn't matter. With an IMS region, you cannot use cancel (z/OS: "non-cancelable, use force arm"). You cannot use force arm (z/OS: "cancel first, please"). And you cannot use force because IMS intercepts that and tells you to terminate the IMS region by de-registering it from IMS. Which doesn't work because it is already *unknown* (i.e. deregistered) in the control region, but the de-registering hasn't made it down the tcbs in that IMS message region. Sometimes the callrtm program worked after the 5th invocation, but sometimes it didn't work even after 10 invocations. (With the dumps to verify it didn't work in between invocations.) IMS message regions are BAD, IMHO.
