Re: Jobs in subsystems with status END

That's my experience also.  Generally jobs that get stuck in END status will
keep the subsystem from ending also.  There are ways to go in through
Display/Alter/Dump in Service Tools and correct the problem (if you can
figure out what it is) but that is risky and can cause unforeseen additional
problems, and you'll probably end up IPLing anyway.

We had a few problems last year with the MQ Series agent jobs (AMQZLAA0,
IIRC) hanging in END status.  The only thing that ever worked was ENDJOBABN,
fortunately we were on V5R1 at the time and not putting on many Cumes.  To
my knowledge the developers never did figure out what the problem was; we
finally got migrated to an 810 on V5R2 and it hasn't happened since.

Will it?  Because I have jobs that I do an ENDSBS *IMMED on and they stay 
in END status until I do an ENDJOBABN.
