I'm not familiar with the CBT version of Exit 6, but ours does exactly this sort of thing. You can set/change all kinds of attributes based on all kinds of criteria. It's a very powerful mechanism.

File 175 contains the Philips Lighting JES2 mods that were designed to ease the conversion from JES 3 to JES2. The primary changes were in an upgrade to the American Natural Resources EXIT6. While the exit was based on the first 3 characters of user=id, it was changed after I left to use ACF2 or RACF to determine privilege. The exit does the following: For production jobs submitted by CA-7, the class is left as A unless it uses a TCAM queue in which case it is set to the class for that queue. The class is shared with test jobs. For test jobs, the class is set based on time requested in the job card and the number of tape drives. Systems programmer jobs were set to a corresponding set of classes that would run if test jobs were held by turning off the class. The catalog was checked for all input data sets to determine whether the data set was on tape. In most if not all cases the class on the job card is ignored. The FCB was set based on form and there may be other things I forget offhand. All PROC usage was logged in SMF with the JES2 library concatenation. From what I have read, if you use exit 6 you may also have to code another corresponding exit. With the many changes in JCL since 1991, especially, with the JCLLIB, multiple levels of PROC and INCLUDE statements, major changes might have to be made. The major philosophy of the exit was that the system could determine the proper job class and if it could determine it, the system should set it and the programmer didn't have to know the rules. Packages and workload manager may be able to handle some or all of the functions of this exit. If anyone is interested, File 175 can be downloaded from www.cbttape.org. Sam Golob has included my home phone number which does have call answer in the writeup for FILE 175. It is a standard North American phone number and I have had it for over 26 years. Since I have North America wide free calling I can return phone calls without penalty. I have a copy of file 175 on my computer so I may be able to help if someone actually wants to use any of the files in the submission. It has been a fun trip through memory lane. Having the CBT tape, IPO samples and a concurrent conversion of production output SYSOUT to put all reports in CA-DISPATCH enabled us to convert in a 3 - 4 month timeframe from JES3 to JES2 with little effect on the application programmers.
