Just did a v10 upgrade on Window$... not sure how this happened but the batch submit user ID never made it to the upgraded environment.... However it's scheduled jobs made it.... So these jobs are kicking off, going immediately into recovery, but we can't delete anything using jobdef and recdef because it says the user does not exist. I'm guessing that GEN is just screwed up and there is probably no way around it short of going directly into GEN (yikes), but just wondering if anybody has run into this issue before.

You could try deluser assuming that it is still available in v10. It can often access ID's in that scenario and allow you to delete them.

Have you tried setting up the user id and then deleting the jobs?
