What is the purpose and meaning of the TIME keyword and what JCL statement is it associated with?

TIME specifies the maximum CPU time allocated for a particular job or job step. If TIME is in the JOB card, it relates to the entire job; if in the EXEC statement, it relates to the job step.

if time parameter is coded on both job and step, then the time coded on the EXEC statement over-rides the one on the job.[refererred on pg 88 of Mvs Jcl Primer]

U might be interested to know this too.

The COND parameter if coded on both job and step, then the parameter coded on JOB overrides the one coded on the step
