I have a job (4 steps) with time parameter coded in job & exec, say time=10 in job & time..

Answer / megha

It depends on how much time each step takes,In the above
job the total time the job can take is 10 minutes and if
the total time taken by each step(step1 to step 4) is
within 10 minutes (and also within the time specified for
each step) ,then the job will execute without any error.

Answer / guru

When the time parameter is mentioned in step and job card, then time parameter at step will take precedence. So only when the steps executing more time than the time limit mentioned in the step will cause the job failure with S322.. it does not consider the time parameter on JOB card.
