Huh?? COBOL programs have PROCEDURES, not STEPS. And, I've go to admit, I've never heard of the concept of a CLASS in a COBOL program. Of course, I'm not a COBOL guy, so who knows.

Hello,

No, steps cannot have "different classes".

When a job is submitted, it has a class associated. The entire job is run in a partition/initiator that supports the execution class of the job.
