>CANCEL jobname.* cancels all tasks/jobs with the same jobname. I have only ever used the jobname.identifier construct when I had started gtf without specifiying the identifier at the start command. I didn't know that that might get rid of USS processes.
I'll try it tomorrow morning, to see if it works on both stepname *omvsex and step1. - thanks for that tip!
