  The terse job abort dept 
 The Question is:
 
When I delete the entry in the queue, the tape drive that is allocated by the
 job change to a mount dismount status and the job has the status aborting but
 never aborted, and I cannot even stop the process by it's ID. What can I do to
 stop the process and
 free out the tape drive?
 
 The Answer is :
 
  Please first ensure the current ECO kits for OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1
  have been installed on this system.
 
  Please then contact the Compaq Customer Support Center, as details
  of the hardware, the tape drive and the system and process environment
  will be required.  Please expect to be asked details of the specific
  tape drive, the specific drive firmware (if any), the specific I/O
  configuration, the specific activities or commands or operations that
  are used (and interrupted) in the batch job, the ECOs applied, etc.
 
  Without these details, no more specific answer is possible.
