| TIME=1440 tells the system to let the job / task / step run as long as it can. Removing the parameter may cause the job to ABEND for lack of CPU time; the exact amount of time allowed depends upon the way your system is set up. |

| You mean there is no benefit of removing it. |

| Plenty of benefit. Suppose your program is looping - you want it terminate as soon as possible. |

You claim to be a software engineer, do you have to be a "manual" engineer to actually RTFM or a "web" engineer to STFW? |

You need to ask yourself , why do you want to do that or why was it there in the first place? |
