IMO, most batch should be run in discretionary. The exception is workload with turnaround requirements. These should be met with response time goals. A "penalty" service class that is "just barely above discretionary" makes no sense at all to me. When WLM has plenty of discretionary work to do, it is able to get the most work out of the system. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
