John -

From an RPG/400 program, the Shut Down SHTDN operation code ( in RPGIV
%SHTDN bif) will tell you if:

1) the system is being ended by PWRDWNSYS
2) the subsystem is being ended by ENDSBS
3) the job was ended by ENDJOB

(obviously, if *IMMED was specified for any of the above, the program will
not have time to react...)

I have an rpg program I want to use (submit to batch) as a 'monitoring'
program.
(in old elvish, an NEP program)

Within the program, there may be files, etc. open, at any time.

Since it's a submitted job, it'll be ended from the wrkactjob screen.

Since it may be possible to end it with *IMMED or *CNTRLD, I'm worried
about cleanup (files or objects getting released).

Is there a way to monitor, within the rpg program, for 'job ending'??
The rpg program will be in a constant loop state, waking up at set
intervals to do some processing. If I can trap a 'job ending' status,
I can close out the program/job gracefully.
