A cancellation cleared the job queue, It looks as some intervention is
unavoidable when a
tape is missed as I have been working through this problem for a while
now. However some
interventions is required, the tape needs to be changed! so to cancel a
job is not a huge amount
of extra work. It would be nice if entering the next tape was all an
untrained user needed to do.
