Do you by any chance run Compuware Xpediter or something under IMS? A few jobs ago, we had the same problem with our IMS regions, and it turned out that Compuware code was hindering termination. (I took a dump and looked.) In some cases I was successful by using the (unsupported) callrtm program that is now a (supported) operator command. I specified the asid and the bottommost tcb and ran that program a number of times. In about 70% of the cases it succeeded in terminating the hung region, in the remaining 30% they needed a complete IMS restart (to enable to user whose id was blocked) to work again.
