The daily incremental save was split into two jobs: DAILY1 & DAILY2. DAILY1 saves two productions data libraries -- DAILY2 saves all other libraries. When DAILY1 completes, the batch processing starts. DAILY2 completes whenever. How can I do this with BRMS?

So who should sit in his hot seat next? The Brits think Bill Gates should be the next celeb to sit down for a heart to heart. In a recent Web poll, 37% of voters elected Mister Microsoft to be Bashir's next "Bashee."
