Before you even think about ending all batch jobs, you need to answer these questions:
1. Why do I want to do this?
2. What is the batch job doing?
3. What is my recovery plan if this batch job is updating files?

Why do you want to end all the batch jobs for? Give us more information as to why you want to do this, that way we can give better advice.
The requester never suggested to end *ALL batch jobs!
I believe he was asking: IF he Ends the job *IMMED, what will happen?
My answer, is the program will stop processing immediately, and leave the file in the state that they were at when he ended the job. If the job would normally delete work files at the end of the job, then these files will still be on the system.
