The "text" refers to the Text based exits (Exit 6 for example).
I think your mixing up WLM dispatching based management with JES's WLM management which allows JES to use WLM constructs to affect job selection, (i.e. who gets the initiator first).
It's not all that difficult to set up, but it's a different thought process than the way JES works with /*Priority, you actually get more control. The JES2 reference guide and init and tuning guide go over how to do it, plus the WLM guides are pretty good about how to set it up.

First "Jes input exit (or text)" What is the "or text"? Is this something new in JES? Any Share papers or doc references? Second our schedule (CA-ESP) submits jobs to the input Queues as their predecessors complete. Presently we have about 100 inits to run about 1500 jobs a night, so I am trying to get my 'loved ones' to the initiators quickly. As far as I know WLM cannot control this. Are you suggesting to have a very large number of initiators and just let SVCClass control who actually gets cycles? Is there a point where the number of initiators with low-priority jobs started but not getting service starts impacting higher priority jobs?

There are several samples on the CBT tape that you can use as a start, but none that I'm aware of that do exactly what you want. Why not use JES's WLM options instead? Brian
