We use a program from the CBT tape for this very thing. Todd's original need has been satisfied for the moment, as he didn't need to synchronize commands within a job stream. Even so, I prefer to use the program, as differing security parameters at our installation mean the IEFBR14 method works on the development system but not in production.
I can't remember exactly which file had the program we use, but I know it was one from CBT. Jon <snip> I am sure there is something on the CBT tape.
