This is a question from management. I don't like the question. But I will ask anyway. is there any way, using normal JES2 facilities, which could include an EXIT in JES2 to limit the wall-clock time that a job is permitted? I am thinking that I could put the ESTIME parameter in the JES2 parms with NUM=9999 and OPT=YES so that a $HASP308 message is issued. I would use EXIT(20) to set the JCTETIME value to what I actually want for the job (it will vary). I could then use CA-OPS/MVS to trap the $HASP308 message and, if desired, issue a $CJ command for the job.
I don't like doing the above, but management basically wants a rule of "any job which will execute more than ... minutes must be scheduled by Production Control via CA-7." Of course, a rule without enforcement is not a rule. It is a request. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
