AFAIK, an ENDSBS won't help in the slightest and will only prevent other jobs 
from starting in that subsystem until an IPL is done, unless someone knows how 
to restart a subsystem that hasn't ended yet.

I believe that requesting a subsystem to end causes a request to go to all jobs 
in that subsystem to end first. And only when the subsystem detects that all 
jobs have actually ended, the subsystem can then end. If a job is hung and 
won't end, the subsystem just keeps waiting.
