>From what I gather, you have three classes or stages of jobs. Stage 1 is the update. Stage 2 are the compiles. Stage 3 is the linkedit. You want stage 1 to finish before stage 2 starts. If stage 1 fails, do you want to continue with stages 2 (assemblies) & 3 (linkedits)? After ever job in stage 2 ends, you want to run stage 3. The return codes on the jobs in stage 2 are irrelevant to stage 3 execution. Can SCLM be told to ignore the RC of the assemblies? I don't know SCLM. I'll be really, really off the wall. Why not use make? It can be set up to do the updates, then if they succeed, do all the compiles (and it can be told to ignore the RC of the compile), then do the linkedit. It really is set up to run off of UNIX files, but I'll bet there is a way to have it run standard z/OS programs too. But it may be too much of a PITA. I don't know. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
