Once in a while, (I'll leave out the details) a job is streamed on our
     system that we would like to automatically abort, so that it doesn't
     run (the job limits are high, so it doesn't automatically log on).

     I'm trying to setup a daily job to :
     MPEX
     showjob job=jobname,job.account
     if cierror=0
     ABORTJOB  Jobname,Job.Account;NOVERIFY
     endif
     exit

     However, if there is no job to abort, the JOB itself will abort. I
     want it to check first, and not do an abortjob if there isn't anything
     to abort. got it? :) There was a recent thread which covered this
     subject, since that's where I got some of the ideas; but it's not
     working for me .

     also, for Maestro: we have a job that 'loops' an ftp process until it
     works. Since it abends on the first try, Spoolmate sees the error and
     flags it as an Abend, even though it is eventually sent successfully.
     I need to find a way to automatically tell Maestro/SpoolMate to ignore
     the first error msg, since it did send the file ok on the second try.
     Any ideas? (we the use SpoolMate error analyzer to look for error
     messages).

     thanks! + Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukah/Happy Holidays/Happy Vacation
