If NETSTAT *CNN does show the port still locked by this job and ENDTCPSVR

Tried it. No luck. Have tried ENDTCPSVR *FTP, killing the job every way I
know how, WRKJOBLOG JOBLOGSTT(*PENDING) PERIOD((*AVAIL *BEGIN)) and killing
it there, etc. etc. Now it says "OUTQ" in WRKUSRJOB.

QTFTP00184  QTCP        BATCH    OUTQ

But it still has hold of Port 21 and I can start and end *FTP without
changing that.

It finally produced a spooled file which tells me what I already know: the
job ended at 03:05 today abnormally. The immediately prior message is:

Cause . . . . . :  Unexpected exit failure.  The reason code is 1. The
reason
  codes and their meanings follow: 1 -- Error in closing a process
descriptor.

DESPITE all this, it still owns port 21:
