What can I do with this system value?

You may specify whether interactive jobs should (*BASE) or should not (*NONE) be moved to another memory pool when they reach the end of the time slice. The job is moved back to the pool it was originally running in when a long wait occurs. This may help minimize the effect on interactive response time of other interactive jobs when one interactive job is performing a long-running function.
