That's not ALWAYS the case. I haven't fully investigated but I've noticed that whenever a job has a "long" or "not standard" name it cannot be removed by rjob using it's job no. (eg. ProWesS, QD). Others (eg QPAC jobs say "Files") can be removed. Good point Ian, I always wanted to ask that... :-) Phoebus
