Q.How can more than two program be executed in batch mode through SBMJOB in CL PGM but the conditi..

Answer / syam

Yes, You can any number of program execute in batch it will
process one by one. (You see WRKACTJOB then press F5 in top
under Qbatch )

PGM PROGRAM1
SBMJOB CMD(CALL JOB1)
SBMJOB CMD(CALL JOB2)
SBMJOB CMD(CALL JOB3)
SBMJOB CMD(CALL JOB4)
ENDPGM

SBMJOB PROGRAM1 = This all jobs send to Qbatch to execute
one by one (This is on the Que.

Important:If you program screen(SDA) for input do not use
SBMJOB.

Q.How can more than two program be executed in batch mode through SBMJOB in CL PGM but the conditi..

Answer / amit

I think after SBMJOB of the first PGM you need to retrieve
jobd of it. When the Job is completed then SBMJOB next job.
If you submit jobs together they all are processing
simultaneously which is violation of requirements.

Your second question is not clear to me. But if it is in
continuation of the first question then yes, it is possible
to have more than two programs executed in batch mode and
you will have to continue doing RTVJOBD for submitted job
prior to submitting next job. The loop can be like-

SBMJOB (JOB1)

TAG1 : RTVJOBD (JOB1)

I am not sure which parameter is to be used but there is
one parameter that pertains to job status and If status is
complete GOTO TAG2 else got to TAG1 will give you the loop
required to implement our requirement.

TAG2 : SBMJOB (JOB2).....

you can add one as many jobs as required this way.

Answer / megha

Above answers are correct,
But apart from that we can use
1. LDA (in first job , update data area with "1" , and
submit 2nd job if lda values ="1")
2. Data Queues for (pass the parameters) and when the first
job completed then use receivedata queue to submit 2nd job

Q.How can more than two program be executed in batch mode through SBMJOB in CL PGM but the conditi..

Answer / sathya

This is can be acheived by using an API QUSRJOBI. it takes
five mandatory parameters. The status of the job will be
returned to variable &JOBENDR.

CALL PGM(QUSRJOBI) PARM(&JOBINFO &JOBINFL +
&JOBFMT1 &QJOBNAME &QINTJOB)
CHGVAR VAR(&JOBENDR) VALUE(%SST(&JOBINFO 348 1))
==

If the value returned is ''-->then its still running
If the value returned is '0'-->it has completed sucessfully
and then we can submit the next job
If the value returned is '1'-->It has ended in error.
