We did so in the past - back when I consulted here around Y2K - so I don't know / recall all the details. Only jobs in a long running test classes were canceled (by automation) based on $HASP308. JES2 exits (ThruPut Manager actually) enforced CPU time also by class. So unless something really strange happened, you wouldn't see a HASP308 for a test jobclass with a 5 or 10 minute CPU time limit. But it is a bad idea... the reason I don't know much about this and can't look at the details now is that I convinced everyone at the time that it was not an equitable control and the code was removed.
