It may not be in the Redbook, but it says this in the Planning: Workload Management manual: │ Duration Number of service units for this performance │ │ period. The key word being "this". IOW, it starts counting again at period switch. This is really easy to test. Define a batch service class with 3 periods. P1 with a DUR of 20000 and P2 with a DUR of 20001. Then submit a job that you know will run for at least a few minutes. You should be able to see via SDSF that the job stays in P2 for the same amount of time as P1.
