DBMS_SCHEDULER copy job

Here is a nice dbms_scheduler feature I found the other day.

DBMS_SCHEDULER.COPY_JOB (
   old_job                IN VARCHAR2,
   new_job                IN VARCHAR2);
SQL> BEGIN
  2     DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
  3        job_name          => 'JOB_NAME',
  4        job_type          => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
  5        job_action        => 'begin NULL; end;',
  6        repeat_interval   => 'freq=daily;byhour=6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17;byminute=0,30;bysecond=0',
  7        enabled           => FALSE
  8     );
  9  END;
/ 10

Neat things to note here.  The job2 is disabled, excellent.  This will come in handy, this one thinks.
