Thanks for the plug Chris, we appreciate it!
As someone else on the thread pointed out, we are small enough that
setting CNVTNUM=1 will work fine for us.

If you don't want to make the jobs submit each other and have no
scheduling package, there is another alternative using UNIX tools (or
windows).
We have perl packages to do FTP (although you could also do it in rexx).
Using make (or gnumake), you can make each job dependent upon the other.
The completion of each job would cause the next to be submitted (make
rules can be written to turn a .jcl into a .list or something like
that).
