Try *DSCENDRQS instead of *ENDJOB. Here're all the options (from help text):

*MSG                                                                 
    Signals the I/O error message to the user's application program. 
    The application program performs error recovery.                 
                                                                     
*DSCMSG                                                              
    Disconnects the job.  When signing-on again, an error message is 
    sent to the user's application program.                          
                                                                     
*DSCENDRQS                                                           
    Disconnects the job.  When signing-on again, a cancel request    
    function is performed to return control of the job back to the   
    last request level.                                              
                                                                     
*ENDJOB                                                              
    Ends the job.  A job log is produced for the job.  A message is  
    sent to the job log and to the QHST log indicating that the job  
    was ended because of device error.                               
                                                                    
*ENDJOBNOLIST                                                       
    Ends the job.  A job log is not produced for the job.  A message
    is sent to the QHST log indicating that the job was ended       
    because of device error.
