Syntax Valid values -> -> CLASS=jobclass Any alpha betical character between A - Z numbers between 0 - 9 //MYJOB JOB (3345Y),'KRISHNA REDDY',CLASS=K or
Example JCL
->
2. PRTY
- It is related to CLASS parameter. It assigns priority to jobs which belong to the same class. Higher number takes precedence over the job with lower number. A job with priority of 12 will run before a job with priority 5. -> -> -> PRTY=priority Any value between 0 to 15 //MYJOB JOB (345Y),'KRISHNA REDDY',CLASS=8,PRTY=6
