Removing job queue entries

You can remove job queue entries from a subsystem description by using the IBM Navigator for i interface or the character-based interface. Jobs on the job queue remain on the queue when the job queue entry is removed from the subsystem description. A job queue entry cannot be removed if any currently active jobs were started from the job queue.

IBM Navigator for i

Expand Work Management > Subsystem Descriptions.
Select the Properies action for the desired subsystem description.
Click on the Job Queue Entries tab, then click on the entry you want to change and select the Remove action from the Actions drop-down.

Character-based interface
