Boy! You want a complicated solution, don't you? I assume that since Dave is a vendor, that he is installing a software/maintenance package. And, you cannot guarantee all shops have a scheduler, nor they will give access to the console message handler. That's why I suggested (as Kees did) the method of having each job submit its successor. Or, if he can, make it one big job. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
