Examples

   1.$ PRINT/HOLD   ALPHA.TXT
     Job ALPHA (queue SYS$PRINT, entry 110) holding
        .
        .
        .
     $ DELETE/ENTRY=110  SYS$PRINT

     The PRINT command in this example queues a copy of the file
     ALPHA.TXT in a HOLD status, to defer its printing until a SET
     ENTRY/RELEASE command is entered. The system displays the job
     name, the entry number, the name of the queue in which the job
     was entered, and the status. Later, the DELETE/ENTRY command
     requests that the entry be deleted from the queue SYS$PRINT.

   2.$ SUBMIT/AFTER=18:00  WEATHER
     Job WEATHER (queue SYS$BATCH, entry 203) holding until 14-DEC-2001
     18:00
     $ SUBMIT/HOLD/PARAMETERS=SCANLINE  DOFOR
     Job DOFOR (queue SYS$BATCH, entry 210) holding
        .
        .
        .
     $ DELETE/ENTRY=(203,210)/LOG
     %DELETE-W-SEARCHFAIL, error searching for 203
     -JBC-E-NOSUCHENT, no such entry
     %DELETE-I-DELETED, entry 210 aborting or deleted

     The SUBMIT commands in this example queue the command
     procedures WEATHER.COM and DOFOR.COM for processing as batch
     jobs. WEATHER.COM is queued for execution after 6:00 P.M.
     DOFOR.COM is queued in a HOLD status and cannot execute
     until you enter a SET ENTRY/RELEASE command. Later, the
     DELETE/ENTRY/LOG command requests that the system delete both
     these entries from the queue and display a message indicating
     that the entries have been deleted.

     The job WEATHER (entry 203) has completed by the time the
     DELETE/ENTRY/LOG command is entered; therefore, entry 203 no
     longer exists. Note that a message indicates that there is no
     entry 203 in the queue. The job DOFOR (entry 210) is in a HOLD
     status when the DELETE/ENTRY/LOG command is entered. Thus, the
     system deletes entry 210 from the queue and displays a message
     to that effect.

   3.$ PRINT CHAPTER8.MEM
     Job CHAPTER8 (queue SYS$PRINT, entry 25) pending on queue SYS$PRINT
        .
        .
        .
     $ SHOW QUEUE SYS$PRINT
     Printer queue SYS$PRINT, on PARROT::PARROT$LPA0, mounted form DEFAULT

     Entry  Jobname         Username             Status
     -----  -------         --------             ------
        24  CHAPTER7        SMITH                Pending
        25  CHAPTER8        SMITH                Pending
     $ DELETE/ENTRY=25 SYS$PRINT

     The PRINT command in this example submits the file CHAPTER8.MEM
     to the printer queue SYS$PRINT. Later, user SMITH needs to
     edit the file again before printing it. Using the SHOW QUEUE
     command, SMITH verifies that the job is still pending and
     that the entry number for the job is 25. SMITH then enters
     the DELETE/ENTRY command to delete the job from the queue.
