step2 with 16k, then what is the region allocated for the
entire job?
what is the region step1 takes?
what is the region step2 takes?

Answer Posted / arjun

As we all know, job always overrides step.
then step 1 will take 0 bytes...but if 0 bytes is not sufficient in execution of that step then it goes to job 4k...
it prefers 0 but if not sufficient then 4k

Same case with step 2.
first checks 16k if it is ok for execution then fine else gives an error as 4k is anyhw not sufficient.
