  What is Ctrl-Esc mapped to?  Presumably SysRqs [System Request] 
such that SysRqs-1 effects TFRSECJOB, or SysRqs shows the System 
Request panel?  If so, are the other activities required, or might 
just SysRqs followed by F12 to return to the processing get things 
going again?  Regardless, when it happens again, probably better to 
have another user\job request a WRKJOB OUTPUT(*PRINT) against the 
apparently-hung job to see its status and program stack.

  FWiW the return to a job after the sequence of TFRSECJOB, signon, 
and signoff, will check the break\notify for the workstation [& 
user?] message queue.  The DLVRY() setting for the user or the 
workstation message queue might be germane.
