RE: Killing off all jobs with a given jobname from CL

I'd stick with the API, even in CL. APIs are much easier to handle with the
new CL support.

That said, something REALLY quick and dirty might be:

WRKACTJOB OUTPUT(*PRINT) JOB(<desired job name, generics possible>)
CRTPF QTEMP/OUTPUT RCDLEN(132)
CPYSPLF FILE(QPDSPAJB) TOFILE(QTEMP/OUTPUT) SPLNBR(*LAST)
RCVF ......

Subject: Killing off all jobs with a given jobname from CL

We have a situation in which we need to unconditionally and immediately
end all jobs (regardless of status) with a specified name, without user
intervention (it will be going into an end-of-day process), and
preferably without having to end a subsystem.

Obviously, I could do it from a HLL, calling QUSLJOB, but if there's a
way to do it from CL, that would be quicker and easier.

I've done similar things with terminal sessions, by listing all devices
fitting a given naming convention, varying them off, and varying them
back on, but I don't see anything comparable for jobs.
