There's always the old fashioned ;INPRI= parameter coupled
with a job LIMIT of 1 and a JOBFENCE of 0.
You're GUARANTEED to be able to sequence at least 14 jobs
this way (15 if you toss in an early job with the ;HIPRI
parameter.)

Jay,
From a purchased solution side of things, all the major job
scheduling
packages will allow you to do this. Short of that, I created a command file
that would do basically what you are talking about. The command file
basically pauses as long as it finds a job executing with the name (or
partial name) specified. For example the command "JOBWAIT fred@" in a job
stream would cause the job to wait until there was no other jobs with the
name fred+"anything" executing and then it would continue.

Subject: Getting jobs to run in proper sequence
Hi all,
I am seeking suggestions on how we might get a series of jobs to run in the
proper sequence. Currently the jobs, in turn, build/check for the existence
of/purge dummy files. I don't care for this approach since a file may
inadvertently be renamed, purged, etc. between jobs. This happened to us
recently when a job aborted, thus not building the dummy file that the
subsequent job was to check for, allowing the user to stream a job out of
sequence. The users can make changes to the data, based on the reports the
jobs produce, so that after job A runs, they go over the reports, make
changes, then stream job B, and so forth.
Any ideas/thoughts gleefully accepted.
Jay
