James:
Aside from using normal IBM i object authority (which will not work in this
case) the only thing I can think of is the end job session exit program.
This one is V7R2:

Another way might be to have a command exit program that could interrogate
the command and act accordingly. IBM has an example here for SMBJOB:

A dumb question perhaps, but what authority does the job issuing the

Does the ENDJOB definitely specify *IMMED in the program that is not
working ?
As it happens, the ENDJOB is being issued from a scheduled batch job that
runs under the same USRPRF as the job being ended, AND which has JOBCTL
authority.
And as it happens, I just noticed something about the customer's
"belt-and-suspenders" program that scavenges any "to be terminated
immediately" job(s) that our program somehow failed to terminate: it's
looking for them in the wrong subsystem.
I've corrected that. Maybe that will solve the problem.
The maddening thing about this is that it's intermittent.
