The $PJOBQ command just puts the jobs on the PURGE queue.
Each JES2 system has some number of PURGE processors.
$DPCEDEF will show the number. The default is 10.
The purge processors of the member that owns the checkpoint
will each grab a job and free the track groups associated with that job.
That process can take some time depending on the spool space
owned by the job, so it can take all the members several checkpoint
cycles to purge all of the queued jobs.

One more observation:
I noticed that once the lock is released and the jobs start purging from
the spool, it seems every member of the MAS is participating in the
purge process. While I like that they are all being helpful, I am
curious as to why it is happening this way. Ideas?
