/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb INITIALIZE, /QUEUE, Qualifiers, /CPUMAXIMUM  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /CPUMAXIMUM=time

    Defines the maximum CPU time limit for all jobs in a batch
    execution queue. You can specify time as delta time, 0, INFINITE,
    or NONE (default). You can specify up to 497 days of delta time.

    The /CPUMAXIMUM qualifier overrides the time limit specified
    in the user authorization file (UAF) for any user submitting a
    job to the queue. Either the value 0 or the keyword INFINITE
    allows unlimited CPU time. If you specify NONE, the CPU time
    value defaults to the value specified either in the UAF or by
    the SUBMIT command (if included). CPU time values must be greater
    than or equal to the number specified by the system parameter
    PQL_MCPULM.

    For information on specifying delta times, refer to the OpenVMS
    User's Manual or the online help topic DCL_Tips (subtopic Date_
    Time).

    A CPU time limit for processes is specified by each user record
    in the system UAF. You also can specify the following: a default
    CPU time limit or a maximum CPU time limit for all jobs in a
    given queue, or a default CPU time limit for individual jobs in
    the queue. The following table shows the action taken for each
    value specified and possible combinations of specifications.
