First you wait 10 minutes after doing the ENDJOB *IMMED.
Then you can do a ENDJOBABN.  This will result in your next IPL being an
abnormal one.
If that fails you can try the following:
  ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED - you will NEVER reach a restricted state if
ENDJOBABN didn't kill the job, but you will shut down the rest of your
jobs.
  PWRDWNSYS *IMMED RESTART(*YES) IPLSRC(B)
And I've even had that fail because of a hung job.  I forget the SRC.
Then you can change your mode to manual, and press the buttons on the
machine to power down.

What are the ramifications of an abnormal IPL?
-  WRKSYSVAL QABNORMSW will show your last IPL as abnormal.
-  I THINK that ptf's that were scheduled to apply may not apply.  But
that might just be on older releases.  Real bummer if you only IPL every 8
weeks to put on ptf's and you find out that they didn't apply because a
week or so before someone use ENDJOBABN.
