Yes - 

Via the CLASS Object... Most values are set to *NOMAX by default...

Here is the system default CLASS for batch jobs (WRKCLS QBATCH):

                                                                 
Class . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : QBATCH

Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   QSYS                    
Run priority  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 50

Time slice in milliseconds  . . . . . . . . . . . : 5000

Eligible for purge  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *NO

Default wait time in seconds  . . . . . . . . . . : 120

Maximum CPU time in milliseconds  . . . . . . . . : *NOMAX

Maximum temporary storage in K bytes  . . . . . . : *NOMAX

Maximum threads . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *NOMAX

Text  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : BATCH SUBSYSTEM CLASS
