    -You stop one or more running jobs using the STOP_JOB procedure or Enterprise Manager.

    -STOP_JOB accepts a comma-delimited list of jobs and job classes.

    -If a job class is supplied, all running jobs in the job class are stopped.

    -By default, the Scheduler tries to gracefully stop a job using an interrupt mechanism.

    -This method gives control back to the slave process, which can collect statistics of the job run.

    -If the force option is set to TRUE, the job is abruptly terminated and certain runtime statistics might not be available for the job run.

    -Stopping a job that is running a chain automatically stops all running steps (by calling STOP_JOB with the force option set to TRUE on each step).
