Hi,

I have job1, job2 and job3. How can I schedule these 3 jobs in test region to run one after the other. Is there any option in jcl by which I can do it myself.

Without even knowing which package you have installed, who knows.

As to the access so to do, you need to talk to your scheduling people, which is where you should have gone before even posting.

Otherwise you can add a tso step at the end of a job which would release the next job (given the appropriate commands/exec, of course!).

Hello,

Or add a step to the end of the first 2 jobs to submit the next job thru the Internal Reader (INTRDR). There are several topics in the forum that show the JCL for this.

Please be careful with that INTRDR stuff. Make double-sure that you have good condition code checking, AND you make sure you delete any files that need to be cleaned up.

The scheduling packages do all of that for you, but your job step will get an RC of 0 even if you got a "not cataloged 2" condition.

Using a scheduler is the preferred solution. In addition to the suggestions already given, if your have a JES3 test system, you can create a DJC network.

Yup. Agreed, but unfortunately there appear to be more and more places that do not believe testing needs a scheduler - only production.

That is true. Out of respect for the rules of these fora, I shan't tell you what we did on ours icon_wink.gif
