jobs / same name:
Programmers especially think that if "n" jobs are submitted in the
same job class, then they are guaranteed to run in the order
submitted. They really aren't guaranteed, but it happens in 99% of
the time. And is usually set up to try to guarantee it.
The simplest way to insure that Jobs run in a specific order (without
the need for a scheduler package to do this) is to just place a
INTRDR step as step 1 of the Job to submit the next job. The use of
the same job name will then have it wait for the current job to
complete before the submitted job is eligible to execute.
