Is "logged off" = DSCJOB?
Do the objects remain locked for the job that was "logged off"?  If so, that's
something else to consider when you're trying to "clear" the system.

Personally, I try to work in the TIMEOUT technique that I posted yesterday
here in response to another query whenever possible.  It helps ensure that
apps and files are closed properly.
