Optional Parameters

RUNPTY

Specifies the run priority for the routing step. Machine run priority is a value, ranging from 0 (highest priority) through 99 (lowest priority), that represents the importance of the routing step when it competes with other routing steps for machine resources. This value represents the relative (not the absolute) importance of the routing step. For example, a routing step with a run priority of 25 is not twice as important as one with a run priority of 50.

*SAME: The value does not change.

*IPL: Use the run priority at which the system job was started at IPL time.

machine-running-priority: Specify the run priority, ranging from 0 through 99, that the routing step uses.
