= Remarks =

  • If the processing of the Request job is in progress, the processing continues even after the end of the Observe job.

  • End processing of the Observe job is executed asynchronously.

    Therefore, to check if the job has ended, use the WRKACTJOB (Work with Active Jobs) command of the OS or other methods.
