Hi

I have one IDMS update job running in local mode, was abened with S322. Which is due to

The system took a longer time to run a job, job step, or procedure
than the time specified in one of the following:

- The TIME parameter of the EXEC or JOB statement

- The standard time limit specified in the job entry subsystem

In my case. The problem happened due to

The standard time limit specified in the job entry subsystem .
Because we haven't specifed the time parameter anywhere in the job.

My question is where & how can I see the time limit for each job step in job in JES.

Thanks
Anand

I think that you'd have to look in SYS1.JES2.PARMLIB (not sure if this dataset can differ according to sites). I'm not sure what members either, I used 3.14 to search for TIME, you get quite a few hits. I'd advise that you speak to your systems programmers who should be able to tell you the defaults.

Mike,

I found the dataset SYS1.JES2INIT and there are few members..

one is JES2PARM. Inside this member

/*******************************************************************/
/* INPUT JOBCLASS DEFAULTS ALL THE SAME */
/*******************************************************************/
JOBCLASS(*) SWA=ABOVE,REGION=4M,COMMAND=IGNORE,
BLP=YES,TIME=(60,0),MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
/* */
/*******************************************************************/
/* TIME SHARING USER DEFINITIONS */
/*******************************************************************/
JOBCLASS(TSU) MSGCLASS=F,
REGION=4M,
MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
TIME=(60,00),
BLP=YES
/* */
/*******************************************************************/
/* STARTED TASK USER DEFINITIONS */
/*******************************************************************/
JOBCLASS(STC) MSGCLASS=0,
REGION=4M,
MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
TIME=(60,00),
BLP=YES

Can u tell me what does this means. Here time parameter is showing 1 hour but. My job step had run for 2:30 hours around and abended with s322.

Thanks
Anand

The TIME value on JES JOBCLASS is for CPU time consumed by a single step, not based on elapsed time. The entry for JOBCLASS(*) is the default for undefined jobclasses. Usually there will be some other specific job classes defined with longer CPU time limits. You may need to check with your sysprogs.

And one other thing. Just because you code a time on the JOB does not mean you will not get an S322 based upon the lentgth of a STEP. You might have to change both.

I have verified in my job it consumed the cpu time around 62 minutes, that's why the job got abended. Thanks a lot for ur information..
