kill child parallel processes

[trevi83]

Hi all,

I have this code that it create more parallel processes:

%do i_quest=1 %to 20;

	signon mcq&i_quest. sascmd="!sascmd";
	%syslput serverwork=%sysfunc(pathname(work)) /remote=mcq&i_quest.;
	%syslput servertemp=%sysfunc(pathname(temp)) /remote=mcq&i_quest.;
	%syslput serverout=%sysfunc(pathname(output)) /remote=mcq&i_quest.;
	%syslput serverlk=%sysfunc(pathname(lookup)) /remote=mcq&i_quest.;
	%syslput i_quest=&i_quest. /remote=mcq&i_quest.;
	%syslput main_dir_macro=&main_dir_macro. /remote=mcq&i_quest.;

	rsubmit mcq&i_quest. wait=no sysrputsync=yes;
	OPTIONS SYMBOLGEN SOURCE SOURCE2 MPRINT;
	OPTIONS FULLSTIMER;
	OPTIONS MPRINT;
	OPTIONS MAUTOSOURCE SASAUTOS="&main_dir_macro.";
	%test;

endrsubmit;

%end;

  %do i_quest=1 %to 20;

		waitfor _all_ mcq&i_quest.;
		signoff mcq&i_quest.;

  %end;

I need to kill all processes while they still running.

I have found this code:

data _null_;

        cmd = "'taskkill /fi " ||'"' || "PID EQ &PID" || '"' || "'";

        call symput('taskcmd',trim(left(cmd)));

    run;

    filename TaskKill pipe &taskcmd;

    data _null_;

        infile TaskKill lrecl=229 pad;

        input @1 CommandResponse $char229.;

        put CommandResponse;

    run;

  This code kills the process with PID (Process ID= macro variable &sysjobid) but if I run this code, it kills only the parent process while the child processes continue running.

Is there anyone who can help me?

Thank you!
