RE: Ending job has priority 16!?!

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I THINK (don't hold me to this) that the system does that internally to
expedite ending the job - especially if it's taking a while to kill it.
Depending on the LOG values set for thos job however, this could cause
it to spend a LONG time producing a massive joblog.  One way to prevent
this when killing a job with ENDJOB is to make sure you limit the # of
log entries produced with the LOGLMT parameter.  Maybe something
reasonable like a couple of hundred entries (if you want to try to see
what's happened if the job may be looping) or just LOGLMT(1) if you
don't care about the joblog.

                Hello all!

                I just saw it in WrkSysAct:
                There is a user job running with priority=16
                and consumes pretty much CPU.

                But WrkJob option 3 tells: RunPty=50!

                And the job is displayed in WrkActJob 
                with RunPty=50 and status=*END!

                Does anybody know why the system raises priority for a
job
                in its ending phase?

                Is there any official documentation about this?

                Regards,
