The timeout issues occur because SMP/E spawns (forks?) a Unix process to

the process to get back to the SMP/E batch job. You can also run into
storage issues as well, as the old default of 64M just ain't enough
anymore.
I submitted RCF's to have the SMP/E User's guide show TIME=1440 and
REGION=0M in the standard SMP/E JCL. The book's been updated, so you
should
be running in TIME=1440 or TIME=NOLIMIT, and REGION=0M.
Since some installations discourage REGION=0M (and NOLIMIT?)
specific values might be more useful.

Gil,
We're talking systems programmers running SMP/E jobs. If a site doesn't
allow sysprogs to run TIME=1440 and/or REGION=0M, that is just plain wrong.
