Defining and Altering Job-Related Parameters 

Jobs have certain parameters that are not needed for sessions.  These
parameters monitor the CPU time, the maximum job execution priority,
default priority, and the security for jobs.

Limiting Job CPU Time 

The CPUTIME parameter defines the default CPU time limit in seconds for
batch jobs.  A value of 0 = unlimited time.  For example, enter:

     MISC>JOB CPUTIME = 10000


NOTE  Users can control maximum session length on their own terminals
      with the HPTIMEOUT variable of the :SETVAR command.  At the end of
      the timed read, :SETVAR automatically ends the session or job, just
      as if the user had entered a :BYE or :EOJ command.  For example, to
      set the timeout to two minutes, enter:SETVAR HPTIMEOUT 2.  To
      disable HPTIMEOUT, set the variable to a negative number or 0.
