Are you absolutely certain you’ve done it before for completed jobs? I would not expect that to work for completed jobs, with the possible exception of very recently completed jobs (or am I thinking of Torque?).
Other replies mention the relatively new feature (21.08?) to store the job script in the database. Be mindful of the database implications here (I believe I have had conversations about this recently with some experienced sites on this mailing list).

Hello all,
I've used the "scontrol write batch_script" command to output the job submission script from completed jobs in the past, but for some reason, no matter which job I specify, it tells me it is invalid. Any way to troubleshoot this? Alternatively, is there another way - even if a manual database query - to recover the job script, assuming it exists in the database?
