WTO / WTOR is the means to communicate with the operator, either human or
automated. The system provides that communication path. It does not need an
setup on the program / JCL side. It should not be

What's strange IMHO: the jobs do not try to consume CP cycles.

Really? I thought that JOBLIB was ignored if there is a STEPLIB.

Yes, IIPHONORPRIORITY is your way to allow or disallow zIIP work to be run on
CPs in scenarios as you describe.

You are correct, if the STEPLIB exists, the JOBLIB is ignored.

Thanks. That explains the confusion. In the JCL manual it says ignore,
however in the INIT and TUNING, it does not clearly state it is ignored.
I will do some testing.

When we did our conversion we would have been able to answer 3 of these
questions as YES. Number 3 was a strong MAYBE. The main reason we did all
of the work ourselves was that the customer agreed to let us get rid of Top
Secret in lieu of RACF, but they were not willing to spend any money.
