The answer is yes. Within LINKEDIT, the ALTPROG syntax is as follows:
 
     ALTPROG file;PRI=priority_level
 
The priority_level specifies the execution priority that the program will have
at run time. The priority_level must be expressed as BS, CS, DS, ES, or a
number between 100 and 255 inclusive.
 
As a side note, you can also set a maximum_priority_level. The syntax is:
 
     ALTPROG file;MAXPRI=max_priority_level
 
The max_priority_level specifies the maximum execution priority that a program
can have at run time. The levels are the same as in the PRI setting above.
 
Hope this helps.
