PRI Job Attribute
PRI Job Attribute
The PRI job attribute specifies the execution priority of a job’s executor-program
process.
number
is a number in the range 1 through 199 (1 is lowest) specifying the execution
priority of a job’s executor-program process.
Considerations
•
A job submitted without the PRI attribute adopts the DEFAULT-PRI scheduler
attribute. To display the value of this attribute, use the INFO SCHEDULER
command.
•
The MAX-PRI scheduler attribute overrides the PRI job attribute. For details, see
MAX-PRI Scheduler Attribute on page 7-81.
•
To prevent a batch job from taking precedence over an online application, make
the job’s execution priority lower than the application’s priority.
Examples
•
This example shows the submission of two jobs. Job 11 has its PRI attribute
specified by the SUBMIT JOB command. Job 12 adopts the DEFAULT-PRI
scheduler attribute.

This example shows the execution priorities of a job’s processes and the sources
of those priorities. The job’s TACL executor-program process $Z357 has an
execution priority of 123 (specified by the PRI attribute). FUP processes $F1 and
$F2 created by the TACL process run at the priority specified by their RUN
commands. FUP process $F3 runs at a priority one less than that of the TACL
process. (This setting is the TACL default for processes whose RUN commands do
