DELETE-BATCH-QUEUE-ENTRY

@DELETE-BATCH-QUEUE-ENTRY <batch number>,  <input file>, <output file>

Delete a job in the batch queue waiting to be started. This command may be used to remove an entry from the batch queue, that is, kill a job waiting for execution before it is started.

Exact match is required between the second and third parameter of this command and the batch queue entry. The exact format of the batch queue entry to be removed may be checked by the @LIST-BATCH-QUEUE command.

<batch number>

batch processor number as returned form the @BATCH command (decimal).

<input file>

the file to be deleted.

<output file>

associated output file in batch queue.

Rules:

1. Permitted only for user SYSTEM and the owner of the <input file>.
2. Valid only if second and third parameters match with a queue entry. Both parameters must be spelled the same way as in the @APPEND-BATCH command.
3. The currently active batch job is not in the queue and must be deleted by @ABORT-JOB.
4. If more entries match, only the first one is deleted.
5. @LIST-BATCH-QUEUE may be used to find the correct spelling of the second and third parameter.

Example:

@DELETE-BATCH-QUEUE-ENTRY 1, JOB-1, L-P

The batch job file JOB-1 is deleted from the queue to batch processor 1 (if match). L-P was the output device in the corresponding @APPEND-BATCH command.
