JES2 STCCLASS and TSUCLASS - documented

2012-03-04 Thread Andrew Metcalfe
Folks Anyone know in which manual can I find the STCCLASS and TSUCLASS initialisation parameters documented please? Not in 1.12 JES2 Init Tuning. I suspect that they are synonymous with JOBCLASS(STC) and JOBCLASS(TSU). I have inherited support for a JES2 system that has STCCLASS and TSUCLASS
