Hi Mark, I thought it would be simple when I agreed to add RACF checking for the TIME parameter, but during my research I found that there was always a TIME value encoded on the STEP card when it was being processed by JES2 EXIT6. So I then had to work out what the jobclass default was to "guess" if the user had coded a TIME= value on his STEP card JCL. This led to earlier postings in IBM-MAIN which gave me the directions to using these JES2 MACRO calls.
It was fun getting it right.
