Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Customers on Unix using DS job scheduler.
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When rescheduling a job, other jobs are removed from the
  schedule.
    On Unix, the code that manages the crontab entries for
  scheduled jobs adds a
    #DSjobDS comment which is use to locate entries. This comment
  includes a
    reference number which until now has been assumed to be quite
  small. If a
    job with a reference number that is a subset of other
  reference numbers is
    rescheduled or unscheduled, then the other matching jobs will
  be unscheduled.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  Apply patch JR35232.
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed scheduled job comment reference number matching to be
  more specific,
    matching to the end of the line.
