DEL Command

The DEL command deletes the current job from the spooler subsystem.

Considerations



Before you can delete a spooler job, you must make it the current job. Refer to

Declaring the Current Job on page 3-7.



A job that is printing when the DEL command is issued will stop printing and

be deleted.



If the job to be deleted is linked to a batch job, Peruse unlinks the job from the

batch job and then deletes it.



If the job to be deleted is the first job of a batch job, then the second job becomes

the new first job.



If a batch job is current, Peruse deletes all jobs that are part of the current batch

job.



The DEL command is not supported if the current job is a spooler job file.

Examples

1. In this example, the current job is job 52. You can use DEL to delete it from the

spooler:

Another JOB command verifies that job 52 has been deleted:
