How to kill a job in "Ready" status.

[Former Member]

HI all,

Is there any way that I can delete or cancel a job which has a status "Ready"?

Thanx in advance.

Dear Rana

It's possible that the button "check job status" in SM37 does not change the job status at all.

There are several notes existing on this topic, for example:

Note 544818 - Problems with the job status check

Dear Rana

If you want to permanently delete the job follow below steps:

Go to SM37

Enter the Job Name and User or you can put  *

Select the status: Sched. Release Ready

Job Start Condition:- From: <today's date> To:- 09.09.9999

Execute

Select the Job you want to delete

In the menu options goto Job --> Delete (or) click on the BIN Ikon on the top to delete.

In a new dailog box- System will prompt you to delete selected Job --> Click on Yes

you should never (or almost never) see that state for a job.

select that job

press:

Ctrl-Shift-F12

this should correct its status to a valid one. then, you will be able to delete it if you want.
