>Is there an "official" way to enforce job execution sequencing?

JES2 has never guaranteed that jobs will execute in the same order as 
submitted. It depends on how long it takes to convert. But, here's what I would 
do:

1. Concatenate them all into a single job, if possible.
   There are limits to the number of steps a job can have.
OR:
2. Add an IEBGENER step to the end of each job:

   //GENER     EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,COND=(0,NE)
   //SYSIN     DD    DUMMY
   //SYSPRINT DD    SYSOUT=*
   //SYSUT1   DD    DISP=SHR,DSN=my.joblib(nextjob)
   //SYSUT2   DD    SYSOUT=(,,INTRDR)

      Check the number of ',' -- I don't have a JCL manual handy.
      Submit the first one, and stand back.
OR:
3. A combination of '1' & '2'.
