Re: Cancelling an index build

At 10:40 AM 7/1/99 -0500, you wrote:

An index build is accomplished by one machine instruction, so it cannot be 
interrupted.  Even a normal ENDJOB will not kill it, the index build will 
complete, and then the job will die.  You can do an ENDJOBABN, but this has 
to be initiated 10 minutes after a preceding ENDJOB, and I'm not positive 
that this will kill it either.
