The problem is that CAS9 and CAL7 are defined as "sub systems", like
JES2. When a START command is issued, the command processor compares the
name of the started task with the names of the subsystems. If the name
being started matches a subsystem name, then the command processor
implicitly adds a ,SUB=MSTR to start the JCL under the master subsystem.

You can get around this by issuing the commands as follows:

S CAS9,SUB=JES2
S CAL7,SUB=JES2

to force the command processor to give the START command to JES2 instead
of MSTR.
