With Roadrunner, you have to do a ABORTIO in the tape device you are using.
Then ABORTJOB the backup job.

Try doing an ABORTIO on the tape device and see if that removes the job.  If
that doesn't work, you'll have to reboot you box.

        Subject:        backup will not abort

        hi,

        I ran into a problem, when I tried to abort a backup
        job.   The stdlist is telling me that its releasing
        the locked files, but its been in the que for about 12
        hours.  Is there another way I can abort this job
        without using the abortjob(already tried) command?  I
        really don't want to reboot the box, if I don't have
        to.  I build this job using RoadRunner 4.7.1, and my
        OS is mpe/ix 5.5 patch 6 .

        Thank-you
