  The Work Management feature for run-restricted-batch job [batch 
restricted state] is not limited to the BRMS product.  It can be 
used for any function\feature that either requires or desires, to 
have both a restricted-state and to run unattended.  If the job can 
run attended [i.e. an operator is present], then except for a 
[console] device failure [which is apparently the case for the given 
subject], then there would be little reason to force the function to 
run unattended.

  The ENDSBS *ALL BHCTIMLMT() runs in a [not multi-threaded] "batch 
job running in the controlling subsystem, initiated from a job 
queue" and any remaining activity, for example the statements in a 
CLP following the ENDSBS request, could operate after\while the SBS 
status is RSTD.

  In the "batch restricted state in which one batch job can be 
active" there is no mention nor alluding to the ability for a 
console job to be active concurrently.  To have any other job active 
implies the /one/ job is not /restricted/ to the combination of that 
one job and system jobs.

  I have never used nor coded for the feature, but I presume that 
the console is not even active while the SRCA9003C70 is displayed 
and that the termination of the batch job automatically releases the 
console because the controlling subsystem is then started; i.e. the 
device is [varied on and then] acquired by the subsystem.  Like 
restricted state from the console, the CLP issuing STRSBS should 
give similar results; and if starting the controlling subsystem, 
then the console becoming available similarly [to when restricted 
batch job ends, whether due to no more work or the time limit being 
reached.
