Thanks for firming up what many of us assumed. But since nobody else has asked, ... What does that have to do with ARM? I understand that ARM might be able to restart a canceled non-cancelable started task while it very well might not be able to restart a FORCEd one, but that seems like a far fetched reason for the name. I personally think it's too bad FORCE <anything> was picked as a CANCEL for non-cancellable jobs. "CANCEL jobname,FORCE" would have been a lot better if FORCE just *had* to be there. I guess IBM just forgot to ask me. :-) Pat O'Keefe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
