Merge Jobs into a single job.

prasanth_urs · Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:31 pm

Hi all,

Consider the scenario..

The dataset A.B.C contains Jobs J1, J2, J3....J99

For a particular process, I need to run jobs in a particular sequence
for example J1,J2,J3,J20,J21,J40,J77,J99...

Could you please tell me how can I trigger this using a single job instead of submitting one by one?

Thanks
Prasanth

Use a scheduling package to do this!!

Alternatively, you might kludge this by adding a step at the end of each job to submit the next job to the internal reader......

Hi Garry,

agreed that scheduling is an option..

but right now I want to solve this using a jcl itself..

By adding an internal reader to the end of every job will disturb the current execution and also in case of any change, have to change all the jobs.

Right now, I am looking to create a new job which will call the jobs one by one if the RC=0.

could you please help me with that?

Well, I just did and cannot find it on any of the 3 forums I am active on.

Maybe I just dreamt it. But I was working on it the other day - docco etc. If you PM me I can try sending it but there is no guarantee of a quick turn-around.

Did you get my file? Did it meet your needs?

He doesn't want to strip out jobs - he just wants to submit them automatically without using a scheduling package. My little rexx program does that including jobs with multiple predecessors and/or successors.

Are you trying to do all this in Production Environment?

Nic Clouston · Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2011 3:15 pm

Well, is it ok?

How rude of people to not say 'thank you' when they are given a bit of code. I bet his mum would not be proud of him if she knew. Never mind - I just will not do it again and I will not tell him about the disasterous bug in it! That makes me happy

in these cases the wrath I prefer is ...
