Absolutely. For once, I have TIME to agree with you. I wish I have TIME (sic!) to test your one step job examples, but... >Rule of thumb: KISS! >Keep It Simple! Indeed. >Don't code TIME in both JOB and EXEC We tell people to rather sit any TIME= in the JOB card, not in EXEC card, simply for KISS reason. Or, we just tell them use jobclass for classes reserved for TIME=1440. >Be generous when setting default values. Yup, why bother with S322? S322 is so ancient... We may be generous except in two/three classes reserved for quick and dirty short jobs (small TIME and REGION) with one step usually and no tapes/cartridges. We also don't use IEFUTL for batch jobs for this reason: KISS Of course there are tradeoffs. If the system is really that busy, priority for jobs with TIME=1440 + excessive cumulative CPU usage are sometimes lowered.
