I'm not sure about JES2 interpreting a job number as negative.  But the
"convenient" wrap-around range feature did get an operator fired at my shop
many years ago.  He intended to purge 2 jobs: $PJ1234-1235, but prematurely
hit enter after $PJ1234-123.  Didn't make any noise until the supervisor &
managers & users, etc. starting screaming.  Eventually they determined that
a head must roll.

JES2 doesn't do "Are you sure (Y/N)"... not that I think that's often
helpful.  Systems Programming was subsequently tasked to suppress any JES2
command with a hyphen in it.
