Our management has set a goal of 1hour 15 minutes for our batch window to 
run.  We have been meeting this goal until recently.  It appears that we have 
been growing.  At the request of management, we created a "special" job 
class that runs a service class which has an importance of 1, has CPU critical 
turned on and also has a velocity of 90%.  This is running higher than CICS.  
We have started meeting our goal again, but they don't want to see any jobs 
running in this special class having any CPU delays.  Now for my question.

What is the highest you can set a service class and how do you control how 
high it runs?  Can it be made to run as high as System?  I know that it would 
not be wise to do this, but I just need to ask the question.  Is there anything 
else that can be done to give this service class more priority?  
We are not running too many jobs in this special service class.


TIA
