RE: Detecting that a submitted batch job is ending from w/in an RPG program.

Problem is that our instructions say try a few things to shut down NEP's. 
Like run SHTDWNEDI or some such thing for one NEP that does check a data 
queue every x minutes.  But for those that do not have the data queue or 
whatever, then use ENDJOB *cntrld delay(120) on them to give them two 
minutes to shutdown.  After that the system automatically converts *cntrld 
to *immed.  Now, if the process does this:
- delay ends
- start posting
- crap, *IMMED kicks in
then transactions are left hanging.

Don't know if anyone here has ever used %shtdn or commit in rpg or even if 
there is a %shtdn in CL.
