Elardus, Setting BLP to YES or NO on a JES2 JOBCLASS statement merely determines whether you can or cannot use BLP in jobs submitted via that particular class. Many installations reserve one or two JOBCLASSes for BLP use and some limit who can use these classes via exits.
Note: If you have DITTO or File Manager and it is running APF-authorized, and you have READ access to FACILITY class resource DITTO.TAPE.BLP or FILEM.TAPE.BLP respectively, you can submit BLP jobs using these utilities in any JOBCLASS. It overrides JOBCLASS BLP=NO. The authorization check for FACILITY class resource ICHBLP is made in addition to JES, DITTO, or FILEM allowing using of BLP. Regards, Bob Robert S.

What about this JES2 init statement with above combination(s)? JOBCLASS(?),BLP=YES (or NO) What will happens when BLP is YES or when it is NO? Just curious, because I can't test it for a while.
