How to cancel jobs on Slurm with job ID(job number) bigger than a certain number

command lineslurm

I have submitted 800 jobs on Slurm. I want to cancel those jobs that have job ID/number bigger than a number(since there is a mistake in them). I don't want to cancel all my jobs because some are running and some that are in the queue are correct.

It is not strictly answering how to cancel jobs greater that a given number, but it would work for the problem @mona-jalilvand was trying to solve : cancel jobs in a range as described here

scancel  {1000..1050}

Much simpler then getting into bash scripting... worked well for me.
