The 1.13 online help is confusing:
"Wild card (*): The * means any character including a blank."
"Mask (%): A single character replacement."
This suggests not including a blank, as is usual for the % mask in
other places.
About comparison operators: the z/OS 1.13 help says:
"You can use a relational operator for the priority work qualifier
only. "
So this does not help me, at least under 1.13.
The only solution now seems to include masks for A* to Z* which makes the
non-SE jobs fall into the top line default.
If no one else has the solution, I will open a PMR.
Thanks for your help,
Kees.

I tried on z/OS 2.1 and got the same result. However online help and the book
seem to indicate that % matches on "any character". I take this to mean all 256
possibililties.
In the online help, I have found that you can use comparison operators. So I
tried:
SE <>%*
SE <A*
The latter should match if no SCHENV is specified, since both "blank" and X'00'
should be lower than "A". Neither worked. Nor did a ">A" or ">A*". I could not
readily find comparison operators in the FM, only in the WLM dialog help.
Not sure if this is new with z/OS 2.1. If you can see this on V1.13, you might
want to try '<A*' and eventually open a PMR if it does not work for you either.
