Guidelines
If the job’s temporary files such as the BRCMD file and the BRIC file have not been 
deleted, issue the CLEANUP JOB command before the DELETE JOB command.
You cannot specify a time range by including both the BEFORE and AFTER 
conditional in the same command.
If a job ends abnormally, its end time might not be recorded. That job cannot be 
deleted using the conditional parameter if its end time is not known.
If you specify a date without a time and the AFTER conditional, all jobs on that 
date are deleted because the default time is 00:00:00 (midnight).
Examples
BR> DELETE JOB zbr005be ;
BR> DELETE JOB *, AFTER 1 JAN 1997 06:30 ;
BR> DELETE JOB *, AFTER 1 JAN 2004 ;
BR> DELETE JOB *, BEFORE 9:00 ;
BR> DELETE JOB *, OWNER 255,255 ;
