Error description

  but the batch job fails due to JCL or security issue, before the
  time specified in LOADTIMEOUT parameter expires, if a SHUTDOWN

  ****************************************************************
  CDC z/OS fails to reset the Load Utility Job Submitted indicator
  when such batch job is not submitted successfully and an address
  space shutdown command is issued before Load Utility job timeout
  logic resets it, this causes the shutdown process to be stuck.
  

Problem conclusion

• The related logic has been corrected to reset the Load Utility
  Job Submitted indicator in above described situation.
