Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
N/A

When creating or modifying a MVS -  z/OS Jobs,  the objects cannot be saved with an undefined Priority.

The Job card parameter PRTY is automatically set to 0 if it is not set to other value.

On the Jobs OS/390 Tab there is no option for an “empty” priority.   

This could cause delays in the execution because it’s the lowest value.
