For clarification...

ARM

The system is to terminate the specified job, time-sharing user, or       
started procedure if it is non-cancellable. If the FORCE ARM command      
fails to terminate the address space within a reasonable time, reissue    
FORCE with the ARM parameter. The ARM parameter executes normal task      
termination routines without causing address space destruction. The       
system rejects this parameter if the address space for the specified      
job, time-sharing user, or started procedure cannot be terminated or      
should be terminated via the CANCEL command.  If the command still        
fails after several attempts, try issuing FORCE without the ARM           
parameter.                                                                
                                                                          
Note:  This keyword is not related to the ARMRESTART parameter and the    
       functions of the automatic restart manager.
