Yes. I used to overtype a job's dispatch priority with a lower value, or overtype my job's priority with a higher value if it was 'critical'. That was in the days of MVS/XA and /ESA (late 80's to 90's.) IIRC MVS had a dispatch priority of X'FE' and STC's were typically X'E0' to X'EF', or something like that.
