    ****************************************************************
    The endpoint uses a proxy scheduler lock in order to monitor
    the status of the scheduler that submitted the job. If the
    scheduler goes down, the job is cancelled on the endpoint.
    The proxy scheduler lock is specific to a scheduler servant
    region and is passed along to the endpoint in the xJCL.  Since
    a subjob's restart does not originate from the scheduler, but
    instead from the endpoint, the modified xJCL, with the "old"
    lock name was being used to restart the subjob.  This caused
    the subjob to believe the scheduler was down and to go back
    into the restartable state.
