Thanks, Greg, for the pointer to the presentation. I did not read anything which would contradict my understanding. I conclude below text, which I cited previously, needs some rework. I' ll submit an RCF.
> Back to the OP's topic. I read in "z/OS V2R2 Programming: Assembler Services > Guide", chapter "Chapter 3. Subtask creation and control", topic "Task > Priority": > "The dispatching priorities of the tasks in an address space do not affect > the order in which the control program selects jobs for execution because > that order is selected on the basis of address space dispatching priority. > Once the control program selects an address space for dispatching, it selects > from within the address space the highest priority task awaiting execution. > Thus, task priorities may affect processing within an address space." -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
