IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

We do not plan to make this change. ENDJOB *IMMED does not prevent cancel handlers/iexits from running. Using ENDJOBABN can cause cancel handlers to be ended abruptly or not called, and for this reason we do not allow it to be used unless ENDJOB has first been issued against the job, and cancel handlers have been given enough time to reasonably complete.
Yes, I understand you can not assert authority on a command parameter. Rob has suggested the use of an exit point to accomplish this. I second that suggestion.
All powerful tools can be harmful when used inappropriately. However, sometimes these powerful tools are necessary. If you have folks that are not skilled enough to use them safely, remove their authority to those tools. But please do not try to protect me from your novice operators.
A workaround until the arrival of Nirvana is to use a command exit point to change all *IMMED's to *CNTRLD and add a delay time. Search for QIBM_QCA_CHG_COMMAND. I've used this to:
- Change SNDDST to SNDEMAIL.
- Automatically generate a PDF of the joblog and email it to me whenever SIGNOFF is used and the user is QSECOFR
