hi frnd,
i dont think there is any JCL to do it so.. there is a tool named JOB SCHEDULER. it is having the option of giving the order of the job to get executed.

Any more solutions ..plz post it. let me know.

Hi,

You can use the below step at the end of a JCL to submit another job from that JCL:

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,COND=(4,LT)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=Next.Job.PDS(Nextjob),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//*

'N' number of above steps could be given to submit 'n' number of jobs in parallel.

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Regards,
Ramya

Hi Crm,

one of the alternate way of running the 5 jobs is when after submitting the job one, when your submitting the next job you can use the below card after
/*AFTER <previous jobname>
in ur job subsequentely for the 3rd job you can put this statement with the
second job name.

try out this , since AFTER is installation dependent, check oout does ur shop has this other wise it will through you an error
