Jgs, First very good post. If you want to limit the length of time a job runs, then the PRIORTY card will not do that. PRIORITY and TIME is the length of time a job is sitting in the queue before it gets bumped up to the next priority. You want to look at the JOBCLASS definitions for TIME. This is documented in the JES2 Init and Tuning Reference and JES2 Init and Tuning Guide (see section Operator control of the batch job workload). The following threads (done with a google of JES2 PRIORITY) should help in understanding JES2 job selection http://www.mail-archive.com/ibm-main@bama.ua.edu/msg11493.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
