3. Relinquishes locks to objects in the file pool
4. Closes the report if a keyword data report was used
5. Sends a message to the operator explaining why the job terminated abnormally
6. Returns reports to the submitting user ID (if the job was an end user or special SFS/BFS restore request), or to the user ID specified under Report Guidelines or on the REPORT record in the job template file
7. Issues the JOBEND command if the job so specifies
8. Erases the restore job template, exception, and exclusion files if the job so specifies
