One job can include up to 255 steps. Two programs running for 100 times each would require 200 steps. So, it's definitely possible.
The best solution, sticking with a single job, would be to use a single Procedure for each of the program executions, and then create the job to use 100 steps, with each step calling the same Procedure. |

we can do it through application programs.
What we need to do is to write the JCL steps through the application language like cobol to the internal reader (INTRDR).
For example, if you are writing 100 JCL steps to the intrdr then all the steps in the Internal reader will be taken sequentially and be processed sequentially by the MVS system itself.

yes we can do
like from mainjcl we call a procedure having 100 steps in procedure.
and in step2 of mainjcl we can call other proc having 100 steps
| Code: |
//job1 job
//lib jcllib order=(your procedure library)
//step1 exec proc1 --> this proc have 100 steps.
//step2 exec proc2 -->this proc also have 100 steps.

I'm not sure how much that answer fits in but you're replying to a 7 year old thread; a thread which started with very loose question...
Though for a moment I was happy, as I thought that William is back until I realized his post dates back to 2006!  |
