Let me see if I can manage to send it to the entire list this time!

Eero!
 
My concern was prompted by memories from long ago of files that were left
around with their store bit set.  However I feel that my follow up
contribution suggesting the usage of 'REPLY xxx, 0' instead of 'abortjob' is
safer.
 
By the way, the contributed sample stream files contained an error.  The
following statement:
        !echo setvar backuptape "!!backuptape"  > *BK
                                 ^
has one too many '!' in it.  I tested the contributed stream files as command
files in my session and the above was NOT noticed.  In order for the above to
work in batch the line should read:
        !echo setvar backuptape "!backuptape"  > *BK
