    1.$ PRINT/HOLD   ALPHA.TXT
      Job ALPHA (queue SYS$PRINT, entry 110) holding
         .
         .
         .
      $ DELETE/ENTRY=110  SYS$PRINT

      The PRINT command in this example queues a copy of the file
      ALPHA.TXT in a HOLD status, to defer its printing until a SET
      ENTRY/RELEASE command is entered. The system displays the job
      name, the entry number, the name of the queue in which the job
      was entered, and the status. Later, the DELETE/ENTRY command
      requests that the entry be deleted from the queue SYS$PRINT.

    2.$ SUBMIT/AFTER=18:00  WEATHER
      Job WEATHER (queue SYS$BATCH, entry 203) holding until 14-DEC-2001
      18:00
      $ SUBMIT/HOLD/PARAMETERS=SCANLINE  DOFOR
      Job DOFOR (queue SYS$BATCH, entry 210) holding
         .
         .
         .
      $ DELETE/ENTRY=(203,210)/LOG
      %DELETE-W-SEARCHFAIL, error searching for 203
      -JBC-E-NOSUCHENT, no such entry
      %DELETE-I-DELETED, entry 210 aborting or deleted

      The SUBMIT commands in this example queue the command
      procedures WEATHER.COM and DOFOR.COM for processing as batch
      jobs. WEATHER.COM is queued for execution after 6:00 P.M.
      DOFOR.COM is queued in a HOLD status and cannot execute
      until you enter a SET ENTRY/RELEASE command. Later, the
      DELETE/ENTRY/LOG command requests that the system delete both
      these entries from the queue and display a message indicating
      that the entries have been deleted.

      The job WEATHER (entry 203) has completed by the time the
      DELETE/ENTRY/LOG command is entered; therefore, entry 203 no
      longer exists. Note that a message indicates that there is no
      entry 203 in the queue. The job DOFOR (entry 210) is in a HOLD
      status when the DELETE/ENTRY/LOG command is entered. Thus, the
      system deletes entry 210 from the queue and displays a message
      to that effect.

    3.$ PRINT CHAPTER8.MEM
      Job CHAPTER8 (queue SYS$PRINT, entry 25) pending on queue SYS$PRINT
         .
         .
         .
      $ SHOW QUEUE SYS$PRINT
      Printer queue SYS$PRINT, on PARROT::PARROT$LPA0, mounted form DEFAULT

      Entry  Jobname         Username             Status
      -----  -------         --------             ------
         24  CHAPTER7        SMITH                Pending
         25  CHAPTER8        SMITH                Pending
      $ DELETE/ENTRY=25 SYS$PRINT

      The PRINT command in this example submits the file CHAPTER8.MEM
      to the printer queue SYS$PRINT. Later, user SMITH needs to
      edit the file again before printing it. Using the SHOW QUEUE
      command, SMITH verifies that the job is still pending and
      that the entry number for the job is 25. SMITH then enters
      the DELETE/ENTRY command to delete the job from the queue.
