Jamie,
You're describing the default behavior of OS/400 work management when an
interactive job exceeds its time slice. The time slice for the QINTER
class is 2 seconds. When this time is exceeded, the system can move the
job into the memory pool defined in system value QTSEPOOL (timeslice-end
pool). The default value IIRC is *base. I'm not sure that I would
count on this to have much effect, particularly with an index-build,
which never seems to play well with others.
Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
