For example, a call that is arriving at a VRU direct from a public network. The ICM instructs the VRU to run a particular script. The VRU starts running the script until it is interrupted by the ICM canceling this request. The VRU reports that the cancel operation could not be performed successfully and the VRU then continues running the script. When the script has ended, the VRU reports successful completion of the script, then ends the call.
