step then which is cosidered at the step level?
A job has region 4k in jobcard and step1 with region 0k and
step2 with 16k, then what is the region allocated for the
entire job?
what is the region step1 takes?
what is the region step2 takes?

Answer Posted / kiran

As others suggested,

region in the JOB card overrides the region in the Step
only when the Region in step card is gretaer than the
Region in JOB card.

1. Entire job takes - 4k
2. Step 1 takes - 0K ( few environments have settings, with
0K as unlimited space, in this case 4k is assigned to step
1)
3. Step 2 region is overrides by job card region value - 4k

Is This Answer Correct ?    4 Yes 1 No
