Stop agent job after executing for a certain number of hours

Question

I have a scheduled job which runs nightly. I want it to stop itself at 07:00AM in the morning whether or not it is completed.
I have seen some duplicates in the site but they don't exactly address the problem. Thanks.

Answer 1

Personally I would create another job and schedule it to run each morning at 7am.

A job step within that job could execute something like

USE msdb ;
GO

EXEC dbo.sp_stop_job
    N'<Your job name>' ;
