I have a batch program that does several SVC 99 allocations. They are fairly vanilla temporary dataset allocations, or at least that is how I think of them. I am seeing a CPU time of about .0025 CPU seconds per allocation on a z196. Is this what others would expect, or does it seem high? OTOH I

Yes, allocations in your JCL are done in the Initiator. The IEF032I message n your job has CPU time for your jobstep. There may also be an IEF032I for the Initiator, but the CPU time would be for all of the jobs that the Initiator had handled before shutting down. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz
