I know that TIME=1440 and TIME=NOLIMIT can make their way into the JCTXJTL field via a combination of JCL settings, overrides, possible exits, defaults, and such - and that JCTXJTL is supposed to ultimately contain the effective job-step time limit - which is all well and good - and I do see that if I specify TIME=NOLIMIT, for example, I *do* end up with x'83D600' (1440*60*100) in that field - which is exactly what I would expect.
My question is - what does it mean when that field ends up with the value x'00000000', as is the case at our site if no TIME= is given? I believe our default is "no limit" and that may be why it's ending up being zero, but I'd have expected to find x'83D600' instead. Is it actually true, perhaps, that finding *either* x'0083D600' *or* x'00000000' in that field means that there is no time limit in effect?
