Just curious, did you try CALL QSPENDWA PARM(writer-name)?

never never never never never never try an ENDSBS to kill a job!  We tried 
that once on a spool writer job which would not end.  ENDWTR, ENDJOBABN, 
etc would not work.  All ENDSBS did was kill the rest of the writers.  And 
we could not run STRSBS until the subsystem ended.  End result:  No 
writers until we performed an IPL.

I think I have to repost this about every other month.
