WOW. I REALLY appreciate all the feedback. I signed up for this listserv quite a long time ago and then promptly forgot about it for the most part. Not a lot happening in our shop mainframe-wise and I haven't had to think about much for awhile. This WLM thing has been an intermittent problem over time as we regularly get maxed out with CPU during the batch window. For the most part though the operators are the only ones logged on during that time and they know how to fend for themselves.
We have talked a little bit about WLM managed initiators and may wind up doing that. I suspected the duration for first period was too short. I anticipate that I will add an additional period and adjust the durations and IMP per your various suggestions. Thanks again to all of you for your helpful hints! I'll have to make my way back to the listserv on a more regular basis.
