VMS Help DELETE, /ENTRY, Parameters  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 entry-number[,...]

    Specifies the entry number (or a list of entry numbers) of jobs
    to be deleted. If you specify only one entry number, you can
    omit the parentheses. If you do not specify a queue name, you can
    delete entries from multiple queues.

    The system assigns a unique entry number to each queued print
    or batch job in the system. By default, the PRINT and SUBMIT
    commands display the entry number when they successfully queue
    a job for processing. These commands also create or update the
    local symbol $ENTRY to reflect the entry number of the most
    recently queued job. To find a job's entry number, enter the
    SHOW ENTRY or SHOW QUEUE command.

 queue-name[:]

    Specifies the name of the queue where the jobs are located. The
    queue name can refer either to the queue to which the job was
    submitted or to the queue where the job is executing. The queue-
    name parameter is optional syntax; however, when you specify a
    queue name, the operating system uses it to verify an entry in
    the specific queue before deleting the entry.
