INGVOTE command – purging your request

The request that you just added with the INGREQ dialog remains in the Automation Manager until you remove it. To remove the vote, use the INGVOTE command.

The INGVOTE command runs against a single resource and shows you all of the votes and requests that accumulated against it.

In this case, the request is entered against RMF, so you can kill it directly by entering a K against it. (C does the same thing, but goes through a verification panel).

If you look at RMFGAT before canceling the request, you see this information:

The INGVOTE command indicates that it is a vote, not a request, and an input field is not displayed for it. The From Req. field indicates the resource that the request was entered against. You have to run the INGREQ REQ=CANCEL command against that resource if you want to cancel the request behind the vote.
