Scenario1 - TIME=1440 at the job level.

//MTHEXMP1 JOB (META007),'PAWAN Y',TIME=1140

The job can use the processor for 24 hours time.

Scenario2 - TIME with minutes and seconds at job level.

//MTHEXMP2 JOB (META007),'PAWAN Y',TIME=(9,30)

The job can use the processor for 9 minutes and 30 seconds.

Scenario3 - TIME with only seconds at job level.

//MTHEXMP3 JOB (META007),'PAWAN Y',TIME=(,45)

The job can use the processor for 45 seconds.

Scenario4 - TIME=MAXIMUM at job level.

//MTHEXMP4 JOB (META007),'PAWAN Y',TIME=MAXIMUM

The job can use the processor for 248.55 days (357912 minutes).

Scenario5 - TIME parameter at step level.

//MTHEXMP1 JOB (META007),'PAWAN Y',NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP01   EXEC PRG=A,TIME=2

STEP01 can use the 2 minites of the CPU time.

Scenario6 - TIME parameter at job and step level.

//MTHEXMP1 JOB (META007),'PAWAN Y',TIME=8
//STEP01   EXEC PRG=A,TIME=2
//STEP02   EXEC PRG=B

According to the code, the job can run for 8 minutes, and STEP01 can run for 2 minutes. However, if STEP01 ends in 2 minutes, the maximum available time for STEP02 is 6 minutes (JOB TIME – STEP01 TIME, i.e., 8-2). Because there is no TIME parameter at STEP02.

Scenario7 - TIME parameter at JOB and EXEC statements.

//MTHEXMP1 JOB (META007),'PAWAN Y',TIME=8
//STEP01   EXEC PRG=A,TIME=2
//STEP02   EXEC PRG=B,TIME=3

According to the code, the job can run for 8 minutes, STEP01 can run for 2 minutes, and STEP02 can run for 3 minutes. However, if STEP01 ends in 2 minutes, the maximum available time for STEP02 is still 3 minutes. Because the system picks the smallest among 3 minutes(coded at STEP02) and 6 minutes (JOB TIME – STEP01 TIME, i.e., 8-2).
