Hi,
My client has a Z9 Z02 (2 CP, 130 MSU).
They can activate CoD in Aug, but not on Sep-1 (end of
marketing/support/...);
but they 'may' need to do it.
CoD will change it to Z03 (3 CP, 189 MSU).
So the idea is to:
CAP the machine to 130 MSU,
activate CoD;
then IFF need more juice on

I have a question.
Once the job gets authorized by the exit to proceed what would happen if the
operator decides to change the job class. Will the exit reenter again or is
there another exit we have to code?
