I have a program which uses the /job table to communicate startup information
to various processes.  However, the names entered into this table can
not be deleted by the user.  If you do a SHO LOG/JOB/ALL, they show up,
but if you try to do a DEASSIGN/JOB name, you get "no logical name match".
From a program, you can translate the name correctly, but not delete it
(no such logical name).  DEASSIGN/JOB/ALL does get rid of them (and lots
more besides).  We are running VMS 4.3.  Does anyone have any ideas on
what I'm doing wrong, or if this is a known problem with a work-around?
