Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to disable the Thread Terminator "K-Terminate thread in the MVS" option?

 

Environment

Release : 20.0

Component : Thread Terminator

Resolution

Users will be able to terminate a thread via the "Thread Terminator Terminate Threads" display  no users have "Terminate Threads" authority,

Add a single VER statement to the )PROC section within the ISPF panel definition.

If you add the VER statement shown below to the )PROC section in member PTTZ0030 within your CDBAPNL0 dataset, the K

option will be rejected because it’s not in the specified list but the D option will still be accepted because it is in the specified list:
