<snip> The TIME keyword on the JOB statement cannot increase the time for the entire job over the default limit set for that jobclass - it is the TIME keyword on the EXEC statement that you need to concern yourself with.
In my old sysprog days I did this sort of thing at a couple of sites by just removing the "TIME=" specification from the JCL image based on jobclass and then issued some sort of message to indicate "keyword removed by exit xxxxxx". </snip> I believe TIME=1440 will override any specification on the JOBCLASS(*) JES2 initialization statements. I like the idea of removing the TIME= parameter. One of the things on my current "to do" list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
