Re: Runaway FTP task

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before doing ENDJOBABN, I think I'd try killing the TCP connection in 
NETSTAT (if you haven't tried already) and I'd also try ENDTCPSVR *FTP.

If that doesn't work, then I'd resort to ENDJOBABN.  But if you use 
ENDJOBABN, you really need to make sure that you do a RCLSTG at some 
time in the near future, since it can leave stuff in an inconsistent state.
