TIME parameter in JCL
You can find the details in the below tutorial.
http://www.geocities.com/srcsinc/drona/ ... pter5.html
If you have TIME parameter on both JOB and STEP, STEP Time will override job parameter for the step.
At high level.... total job time controlled by JOB TIME parameter.
total step time controlled by STEP TIME parameter, if step time not exceed the JOB TIME.
detailed explaination can be found in the above tutorial.

Hi,
There is a general rule, what's coded on STEP level will be given a precedence over what is coded at Job level.
Nothing different will happen in both the cases unless "boundry levels" are crossed. TIME prameter controls the Max. time alloted & not in "how much" time that activity will be completed.
Let's come to your examples:
1. In this if the step is completed before or in 5 min., fine else OS will check for the time alloted to JOB - oh yes there are five more minutes..TIME parametes on JOB will be regarded in this case.
2. In this actually it's not intelligent to code this way - anyways job itself is not going to get more thhan 10 min. .
Hope this helps..
