Answer / y@$w@nth

TIME ---> with the TIME parameter we are telling to the
operating system that the maximum amount of time that our
job can take, if that time exeeds and still ur job is
running then operating system will abend our job with abend
code 322.

PRTY---> PRTY stands for priority of our job that means..
for exmple if there are four jobs those needs to executed by
operating system using PRTY parameter we telling that which
job needs to execute first and which needs to execute second
and so on.....

CLASS --> CLASS parameter tells the class of your job that
means some jobs may take heavy time and some jobs take less
time depending on the complexity of the program and
resources that those are using. By using class parameter we
are telling to the Operating system that my job is of this
class....

Let me know if i am worng...
