3/14/08 Easy way to remove job schedule entries with one command.

Use the following command:

RMVJOBSCDE *ALL

Or wildcard RMVJOBSCDE XXX*

**CORRECTION**
RMVJOBSCHE *ALL is NOT valid. This was an oversight during the verification process. However the generic version (RMVJOBSCDE XXX*) does work, and will work better if the parameter ENTRYNBR(*ALL) is added to the command as follows: -

RMVJOBSCHE JOB(A*) ENTRYNBR(*ALL)

This command is valid on the following i5/OS environments: V4R5M0, V5R1M0, V5R2M0 and V5R3M0. It has not yet been verified for V6R1M0.

Is there a version of the OS that this works on? I've tried this and it doesn't work!

There was a typo in the command. In the example of the wildcard command, it showed "RMMVJOBSCDE", it should be "RMVJOBSCDE". Please try this and advise if you still have problems. Sorry for the error.

I recognized the the misspelling the first time. As far as I can tell, this command does NOT work to clear all job schdule entries.

The Vision technician who submitted this tip has been advised and a response should be forthcoming.

You are correct, Jim. "RMVJOBSCHE *ALL" is not valid. Unfortunately, we didn’t pick this up during the verification process.

However the generic version does work, and will work better if the parameter ‘ENTRYNBR(*ALL)’ is added to the command as follows: -

RMVJOBSCHE JOB(A*) ENTRYNBR(*ALL)

This has been verified on a V4R5M0, V5R1M0, V5R2M0 and V5R3M0 machines and it is the same for all. This has not yet been verified on a V6R1M0 machine.

The above change has been made to the original blog entry.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Jim.
