Cancelling an Element
Eclipse queues element action requests when you select multiple elements. The application executes the requests one at a time. Press the Cancel button on the progress window to cancel a request before the application executes that request. You cannot cancel executed requests.
Example: You press Cancel on a delete action with 4 selected elements when the application is processing the deletion of the second element. The application cancels the pending delete requests for the third and fourth elements but completes the deletion of the second element.
An exception that permits cancellation of in progress retrieval actions (such as Browse, List, and other actions that only retrieve data from the mainframe).
