I have a job stream which I want to close or abort "naturally" if a file is
no found.  I know if I do a listf on the file in the job, it will abort
before processing, but  our operations people see that and call someone in
the middle of the night.
How can I do the lists, the if it can't find the file, then stop processing
and end the job without getting the "job flushed" stuff.  If it finds the
file, I would like the job to continue on.
Thanks,
Jon
