Why not make it possible for everybody?
Seeing you got several different excellent replies, please allow me
to give you
a proposed solution. It may or may not work for you:
Write a REXX or CLIST where you submit jobs using a list of members as input.
Put a waiting subroutine (a simple DO loop) between each submission long
enough to allow JES2 to convert the job and place it in the Input Queue. Wait
time in a busy JES2 Sysplex is usually 3 to 5 seconds between job conversions.
Having the same jobname for all jobs and placing everything in one input
queue will help you there.
I do this for 'ad hoc' requests (Not scheduled) where I create datasets,
create several audit reports and then finally FTP them to customers together
with e-mail(s) stating that the audit reports are ready. After FTP
everything is
then deleted. Some these jobs do indeed submit other jobs via IEBGENER as a
last step as suggested earlier in this thread.
Will this help you?
