Yep... none of our CPU limits are put in place for production jobclasses.
If an operator / scheduler suspects a job looping (either from a monitor 
warning, SDSF display, much longer run time than prior history shows, etc.), 
they call  the on-call programmer for that app.   One thing ops can't do 
is see if the system is running at or near 100% and if the job in question
is using a lot of CPU.  That is SOP here. :-)
