Yes.  If you specify wait=yes, then it will wait until the last process
finishes (or gets canceled).

`look into the PARALLEL and SERIAL keywords for TSM server scripts.

We use TSM scripts. I started out using a homegrown process
that did what you are doing but with REXX execs which examined
TSM output. It was not flexible. I later found a TSM script
that someone shared with me that does it all. We do use wait=yes
for the processes since we have limitations with tape resources
on our TSM server running Z/OS

Our processes run serially not multiple though. If I wanted to
support multiple I would run 2 separate scripts.
