Resolution

The suppression of the NOTIFY statements from the application/global level when you have a NOTIFY on JOB level is common behavior of variables for all programming languages.

This behavior is a method to prevent a particular job from inheriting all the NOTIFYs from the application level. Meaning there is not a different method how to forbid inheriting all global NOTIFY statements to a job, which should NOT react to these global NOTIFYs. Either the job inherits NOTIFY from the application level or it's own NOTIFY on the JOB level which will suppress those from the application(global) level.
