In SAS Workload Orchestrator v40.2.8, the command line interface (CLI) ignores the jobs list command. Therefore, flags and options are not used. 

For example, the CLI would ignore the following:

sas-viya workload-orchestrator jobs list –-state=RUNNING

sas-viya workload-orchestrator jobs list –limit=5

There is currently no fix for this issue. As a result, you should upgrade to SAS^® Workload Orchestrator v40.2.9 or later.
