Re: Delete/Entry=### fails to stop job execution

What bothers me is why doesn't the entire job abort when you issue the
DELETE/ENTRY command? The DELETE/ENTRY command appears to be doing a force
exit on the running image only, returning control to the batch command file.
I would think it should also delete process that is executing the command
file too.
