I don't believe 'REQSEQNO=transid' is a valid option. The 'transid' you specify should in fact be the sequence number from the COMM STATUS, which in Bob's case does not exist.
We have had similar problems in the past and there is not a satisfactory solution.
You can't bounce the MUF during the day - understandable.
Bouncing CICS is another option - probably unacceptable too.
Next down the line is to shutdown and restart CSF - probably also unacceptable. This also may not work due to the 'work in progress' that MUF believes is happening
I suspect closing/opening the databases used by the now gone task will not work either.
You can cancel the waiting tasks but will not be able to re-initiate them because they will hang again.
From memory, the first four characters in the RID field indicate the database, i.e. x'01E7' = dbid 487.
I suggest reporting this to CA but you may not get far without suitable doco - i.e. a dump of MUF, probably CICS as well so they can look at CSF, and details of the transactions life in CICS - i.e., start, end, abends, messages etc.
Sorry I can't really help.

OPTION=REQABORT,REQSEQNO=transid

I have a task that was purged from CICS, but DATACOM thinks it's still
running. This task is holding up several others in the same and different
regions. Cycling the multiuser is not an option during peak hours. The
task 127 is no longer in CICS and has no sequence number to do a request
abort on. See output of comm status below. Any help would be appreciated.
