Here's a sample that works:
PGM
DCL VAR(&ENDSTS) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1)
LOOP: RTVJOBA ENDSTS(&ENDSTS)
IF COND(&ENDSTS = '1') THEN(RETURN)
DLYJOB DLY(1)
GOTO CMDLBL(LOOP)
ENDPGM
If this does not help you, please provide me with your source code.

but my cl pgm is in a different job and the batch job is different,so RTVJOBA will not work as it gives the attributes of the current job only.So,if i want to end the batch job in a cl pgm what procedure should i follow?
The only way you can end one job from another is if you know the full qualified name of the job you want to end: 999999/user/jobname. The only way to get that information is to either find it and enter it yourself or output WRKACTJOB to a spooled file and then parse the spooled file which only works if the actual (non-qualified) jobname is unique in the system.
