Use the CANCEL command to cancel pending tape mount requests.
You might use the CANCEL command when a requested tape cannot be
mounted or the request was entered by mistake.
If VM:Tape has already mounted a tape and attached a device in
response to a tape mount request and you want to cancel that
mount, use the CP DETACH command to detach the tape drive and
unload the tape.
The syntax for the CANCEL command varies depending on whether
you are a user or an operator. The syntax for users is as
follows:
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| | |
| CANcel | < vaddr > |
| | |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
The syntax for operators (users with OPERATOR authorization) is as follows:
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| | |
| CANcel | < vaddr > < userid > |
| | |
