The ABORT subcommand terminates the execution of the script or
scripts specified in the command line.
Format
DEFRAGMENT ABORT { script-name[,...] } [ /QUALIFIERS ]
1 – Parameters
script-name
The script-name parameter is the name of the script to be
aborted. You can use wildcards in the script-name specification.
Use an asterisk (*) to take action on all scripts on the
VMScluster system. Use a percent sign (%) to match a single
character in the script-name specification.
2 – Restrictions
o You cannot use the script-name parameter with the /ALL
qualifier.
3 – Qualifiers
3.1 /AFTER
/AFTER={time}
/NOAFTER (default)
The /AFTER qualifier keeps the script from being
aborted until after the specified time.
You can specify time as either an absolute time or
as a combination of absolute and delta times. For
complete information on specifying time values, see
the VMS DCL Concepts Manual.
3.2 /ALL
/ALL
/NOALL (default)
The /ALL qualifier aborts all currently executing
scripts across the system. This qualifier is
functionally equivalent to using an asterisk (*)
for the script-name parameter.
4 – Examples

1.
$ DEFRAGMENT ABORT MY_SCRIPT/AFTER=16:30
This command aborts MY_SCRIPT after 16:30 on the day this command
is submitted.
