This will keep it from taking forever (if job log is what it is tied up in)
Also, if ended "controlled" the delay time should be short.

No apparent effect.

Would pulling the QBATCH subsystem out from under it help?

James:

AFAIK, and especially if you're working with older OS/400, a subsystem doesn't end _until_ the jobs within it end. In that sense, you _can't_ pull QBATCH out from under it.

If the job is ending, then QBATCH will simply stick around until your job does end. Further, if it's handling more than just a single-threaded job queue, once you start ending QBATCH, no other jobs will start in QBATCH until it has ended and restarted.

Granted, there are 'abnormal' ways to end jobs and subsystems; but I'd vote for letting it finish unless that becomes totally unacceptable. The time it might take to recover can be more than the time it takes to end... and that assumes you'll know what needs recovery in a reasonable time frame.

BTW, what OS/400 or i5/OS (or ?) are you running?
