Yes - you are correct - the manual I have is a little misleading : In one place : "You can use the TIME parameter on a JOB statement to decrease the amount of processor time available to a job or job step below the default value. You cannot use the TIME parameter on a JOB statement to increase the amount of time available to a job step over the default value. To increase the allowable time over the default value, use the TIME parameter on the EXEC statement." And then in another section later on in the book: "For a JOB statement TIME parameter of TIME=NOLIMIT or TIME=1440, the system nullifies any TIME parameters on EXEC statements as well as the default TIME values. All steps within the job will have unlimited processor time." So - JES Exit 2 will be required as well.

In my old sysprog days I did this sort of thing at a couple of sites by just removing the "TIME=" specification from the JCL image based on jobclass and then issued some sort of message to indicate "keyword removed by exit xxxxxx". </snip> I believe TIME=1440 will override any specification on the JOBCLASS(*) JES2 initialization statements. I like the idea of removing the TIME= parameter. One of the things on my current "to do" list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
