I think ENDJOBABN might cause you more problems than it solves. As I
recall, after any ENDJOBABN, the system will not process a normal IPL.
Rob has beat this one senseless in numerous threads, so it might be a
good idea to scan the archives for more info.

QZLSFILE is used by IBM NetServer. There is one of these for each
client that is connecting to an IFS share. It sounds to me like you
have an external job that is holding a lock on a file in the IFS share.
Can you review that job to see if you can identify the client that is
holding this connection? I think someone had open source utility that
would show IFS locks... Maybe Bryan Dietz?

Subject: ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED jobs not ending

Has anyone else had any situations where not all jobs were ended as a
result of an ENDBS *ALL *IMMED?

Over the years, there have been several instances where there was a
straggler job that wouldn't end.

Well, our weekly backups start after the system has been taken down in a
restricted state, so these problems just cause a lot of problems.

I am thinking about writing a CL that I can put on the job scheduler to
run about 20 minutes or so prior to the regular weekly backups.

Within the job, if I do not get a good shutdown after a few minutes, I
will then do an ENDJOBABN on the remaining jobs.
This instance was a QZLSFILE job that did not end. I looked this up,
yet there is no apparent reason why it did not end properly.

I know that this will work, but I just wanted your thoughts on what
experiences you have had & what you have done.

Thanks.
