Explanation

TIME=1440 on a job card sets the CPU time limit to 1440 seconds, which represents the maximum CPU time allowed. In many job scheduling systems, this specific value is used to indicate no practical CPU limit (1440 minutes = 24 hours). It does not mean the CPU time is 1440, that runtime is 1440, or cause an S322 abend.
