I would probably use AF Oper to capture the $E command, and put out an ARE YOU SURE WTO. Or prohibit the use of the $E command against anything but print. Or have AF/OPER test to see if it is something NOT CICS. Only option I would see might be to cycle JES however that can be distruptive or may not work. But there is not CANCEL $E command avaialble.
