Agreed. However, the jobs still must end first, AFAIK. It won't matter if 
*CNTRLD or *IMMED; if a job refuses to end for some unknown reason, the 
subsystem won't "end".

Nor have I. The condition occurs so rarely and there are no indications of the 
cause, so it's practically impossible to replicate.

Heh, yeah, there's the catch. I'd forgotten that ENDSBS requires *JOBCTL 
anyway, so that kind of makes it moot.
