Good point. Not just JES2 resources either. The exit 6 that I wrote to do the jobclass check (years ago) also checked for TIME= so jobclass standards would be followed. TIME= was only allowed by production and we also wanted to keep end users / programmers from using it with our "express class" which got a higher DP. But if too much is asked, it is more likely to get rejected. So some more thought would have to go into what is really a priority for this type of request. JOBCLASS and account code would be a good start... similar to what the ACF2 supplied exit does.
