The specific message states that "No step could be added to job &1 - job &1 is being deleted." This typically occurs when there is an attempt to modify a job that is in the process of being deleted or has already been deleted.
  Causes:
  
  Job Deletion in Progress: The job you are trying to modify is currently being deleted, which prevents any further modifications.
  Job Status: The job may be in a status that does not allow for modifications (e.g., it might be in a canceled or finished state).

  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the job. If there are locks, you may need to resolve them before proceeding.
  Recreate the Job: If the job is no longer needed or is in a problematic state, consider deleting it completely and recreating it from scratch.
