Experts,

If a program goes on infinite loop, will the central processor executing that infinite loop run for ever until we purge the job ?

Thanks in advance for your help!

What does this have to do with JCL Confused

Usually if a batch job goes into a loop, it will "time-out" when it exceeds the cpu time allowed for the job. If the Operations people determine there is a loop (i.e. the same line of output printing millions of times) they may cancel the job.

Thanks for your reply!
If the JOB class has CPU time limit of 10 Seconds, will the central processor executing that infinite loop run until 10 seconds of CPU time is spent ?
