Indeed. For example, you need some specific conditions from one/many jobs before you can start a next job. Who said your jobs will end in the same order as you submitted them? This is where a Job Scheduler comes in. For example, job D will be released ONLY when all A, B, C completed in whatever sequence. >The answer is batch scheduler. As mentioned, if you don't have money for a proper Job Scheduler, look at CBTTAPE as mentioned by others. If you have a few jobs or membes, you can consider this horrible and ugly alternative - SYSOUT=(?,INTRDR). At least it is good equivalent of that SUBNEXT procedure suggested earlier. Job Scheduler will certainly help you where you have to ADD a new job between job D and job E for example. No worries about the names of PDS members. .... end of my story.
