  SAP Error Message: WZ067 - Job &1 &2 cannot be deleted
  
  1. Cause
  The error message WZ067 occurs when you attempt to delete a background job in SAP, but the system prevents the deletion because the job is currently in a status that does not allow deletion. Typically, this happens if:
  
  The job is already running or scheduled to run soon.
  The job is in a status that prohibits deletion, such as "Released" or "Ready".
  The job is locked by another user or process.
  The job is part of a chain or dependent on other jobs, and deletion is restricted.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve the error and successfully delete the job, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Job Status:
  
  Go to transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring).
  Enter the job name (&1) and user (&2) or other selection criteria.
  Check the status of the job:
  
  Scheduled (Released)
  Ready
  Active (Running)
  Finished
  Cancelled
  
  
  
  
  
  If the Job is Running or Scheduled:
  
  Wait for the job to finish.
  Or, if appropriate, cancel the job:
  
  Select the job.
  Choose Job > Cancel Job.
  Confirm cancellation.
  
  
  After cancellation or completion, try deleting again.
  
  
  
  If the Job is Locked:
  
  Check if another user or process is editing or holding a lock on the job.
  Use transaction SM12 to check for locks.
  If safe, release the lock.
  
  
  
  Delete the Job:
  
  Once the job is in a status that allows deletion (e.g., Finished or Cancelled), delete it via SM37:
  
  Select the job.
  Choose Job > Delete.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Job Chains:
