A message is sent to you and the message queue specified in the job schedule entry when an entry is successfully removed.

Restrictions:

  1. To remove entries, you must be running under a user profile which has job control (*JOBCTL) special authority; otherwise you can remove only those entries that you added.
  2. To use this command, you must have:
    • Use (*USE) authority to object QDFTJOBSCD, type *JOBSCD, in library QUSRSYS and execute (*EXECUTE) authority to library QUSRSYS.

Job name (JOB)

Specifies the name of the job schedule entry.

This is a required parameter.

generic-name
Specify the generic name of the job schedule entry. A generic name is a character string of one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*); for example, ABC*. If a generic name is specified, then all entries with names that begin with the generic name, and for which the user has authority, are removed. If a generic name is specified, ENTRYNBR(*ALL) must also be specified. If an asterisk is not included with the generic (prefix) name, the system assumes it to be the complete job name.
name
Specify the name of the job schedule entry that you want to remove.

*ONLY
Only one entry in the job schedule has the job name specified for the JOB parameter. If *ONLY is specified and more than one entry has the specified job name, no entries are removed and an error message is sent.
*ALL
All entries with the specified job name are removed.
