That alone won't cancel the job, but if you now tell the director to
reload, that will do it.

For future reference, you don't need to comment out the whole job.
There are several better ways to do it.  One is to insert an "Enabled =
No" directive in the Job directive, then reload.  Another is to keep
around an empty Schedule (I call mine "NEVER") for such purposes.

But the simplest and best way of all, which doesn't even require a
reload or any configuration editing at all?  At the console, enter this
command:

disable job="Your Job Name Here"

You can do this either by typing the command directly at a console, or
from the right-click menu from the Job list in BAT.  Then, tomorrow,
just undo it:

enable job="Your Job Name Here"

And you're all set.
