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.
Interesting thought, John. Maybe I'll have one of the youngsters in
the office check it out.

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.
