Ability to stop a single channel instance

It would be very helpful, to clean up single channel instances on SVRCONN connections, without stopping the active channel instances.

In my case there was a channel - coming from datapower - which was openend about 200 times although only 10 instances transferred messages. I found no option, to stop the unused instances - where the last messages were sent days and weeks ago - without stopping the active instances too.

I found the option, to stop channel by CONNAME - but all instances came from the same IP.

I tried the STOP CONN - which removed the connections, but not the channel instances.

I would like to something like STOP CHANNEL(...) JOBNAME, which then should only stop a specific channel instance.
