Hi! We had a super guy here that wrote 2 CL programs and an RPG program for us to do exactly what you are saying. At night, at a certain time, we kick off this CL. The CL will write to a file every active job within the QINTER subsystem. The file contains the job attributes Then, an RPG program will read the file and, based on user critereia, will end the job unless the user is one that is designated not to end. The RPG program uses a CL to end the jobs that are active. Here is the CL code for the first program:

0001.00              PGM
0002.00              DCL        VAR(&JOBNAME) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
0003.00              DCL        VAR(&USER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
0004.00              DCL        VAR(&JOBNUMBER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)
0005.00              WRKSBSJOB  SBS(QINTER) USER(*ALL)
0006.00              RTVJOBA    JOB(&JOBNAME) USER(&USER) 
NBR(&JOBNUMBER)
0007.00              CPYSPLF    FILE(QPDSPSBJ) TOFILE(QGPL/QINTERJOBS) +
0008.00                           JOB(&JOBNUMBER/&USER/&JOBNAME) 
SPLNBR(*LAST)
0009.00              CALL       PGM(QGPL/ENDJOBS)
0010.00              DLTSPLF    FILE(QPDSPSBJ) 
JOB(&JOBNUMBER/&USER/&JOBNAME)
0011.00              ENDPGM

Here is the RPG source:

0042.00 C                   Eval      *InLR = *On

Here is the CL source for the program to end the selected jobs:

0001.00              PGM        PARM(&JOB &USER &NUMBER)

0004.00              DCL        VAR(&NUMBER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)
0005.00              MONMSG     CPF0001
0006.00              ENDJOB     JOB(&NUMBER/&USER/&JOB) OPTION(*IMMED) +
0007.00                           ADLINTJOBS(*ALL)
0008.00              ENDPGM
