Clearing a job queue
When you clear a job queue, every job on the queue is deleted. This includes any jobs that are in the hold state. You can use IBM® Navigator for i or the character-based interface to clear a job queue. Jobs that are running are not affected because they are considered active jobs and are no longer on the queue.
