How about disabiling it from Job definitions until you are  ready for it to go back into schedule?

[Warren Tolentino]

yes that works. however, we want to automate to cancel/remove the job from schedule using sacmd command. we tried jobcancel still will not stop future schedule jobs. please advise. thanks.

Using sacmd to disable the job will remove it from all future schedules and today's if it hasn't run today yet.

If wanting to cancel a set of future jobs,

Set the date of last execution on the group and/or job?

=> Job Definition / Edit job/group / Schedule Tab / Calendar section / place a date in the 'To' for halting future job scheduling 

That usually works for my environment...

In addition to (the above) method,

you may need to recompile your scheduled jobs to have the decommissioning appear (or rather - not appear) on future days

[Dave.Carnahan]

This method might be favored more to the advanced Tidal audience,

-

Use Tidal's API's to identify these jobs and mark them either as inactive or set a 'To:' date for decommissioning.

-

This would be the equivalent of the SACmd utility (if not better).

To find out more about the Tidal API's, on you web client, click Help / API docs and focus on your Job / Active field-object value, and execute them from a VB, C#, PowerShell, Perl, Ruby? host application(s).

-DOS is somewhat limited in its abilities to iterate operations (looping) and the languages (above) will know how to handle the rich data types without a lot of extra work that DOS makes you do. E.g. Date manipulations, logical values and integers.
