This is a required parameter.

name

Specify the name of the system job.

Run priority (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.

0-99

Specify the run priority that the routing step uses.

Examples

CHGSYSJOB   JOB(QDBSRVXR2)  RUNPTY(20)

This command changes the run priority of the system job QDBSRVXR2 to 20.
