We have some problems to understand the relation between group limit and

Let's say we have a CEC with 1000 MSUs, and 2 LPARs defined in an lpar
group with defined MSU = 0 and a group limit of 50 MSUs.
The weights however are 80 (L1) and 20(L2) (sum of all weights is 1000)

Compared to 'normal' software on Windows it's expensive, and there's an annual

But, it's been since 2004, that I've run SAS on a PC, so I could be out of date.

FWIW, I prefer option 1.
In effect, option 2 is similar to having two separate machines, one with a
capacity of 40, and another with a capacity of 20. Neither LPAR can utilize
unused capacity from the other. So, when LPAR B is practically idle, LPAR A
still cannot use more than 40.
Option 1
The issue comes into play though when you use SYMBOLS in started task
JCL. If the Symbol fits that would seem fine but it would be possible
for the substitution text to be longer and thus cause a JCL error.

Whether or not that is correct, it is a very frustrating limitation.
