Job Duration Alert (supports different alert threshold for different Jobs)

As per TWS for z/OS V9.5, apart from new feature allow user defined ALERT/ACTION if an operation does not start or complete, I would like to have an alert for jobs that is in late (late means that a job is started and its "expected duration" is passed)".

However, I would like to have different alert threshold for different Jobs (instead of ALEACTION as this parameter is applying to ALL Jobs), for example:

1. I would like to have a Job1 OPNO=001 to send alert if this Job1 runs (duration) exceeds 6 mins (no alert will be sent if the duration of this Job is less than 6 mins)

2. I would like to have a Job2 OPNO=002 to send alert if this Job2 runs (duration) exceeds 30 mins (no alert will be sent if the duration of this Job is less than 30 mins)

3. I would like to have a Job3 OPNO=003 to send alert if this Job3 runs (duration) exceeds 60 mins (no alert will be sent if the duration of this Job is less than 60 mins)

This feature is already supported in BMC Control-M so I'd expect TWS for z/OS also support this feature
