Re: controlling when jobs start in strsbs

Autostart jobs use job descriptions (which contain job queues).   Use two
job queues, one for the job that you want to run first, and the other for
the rest.  Hold the second job  queue prior to ending of subsystem (via
program or manual intervention).  In the job that you wish to run prior to
the others release the second job queue as the final step.

job name to see if it was one of the ones you wanted to delay. If so, I'd
wait on some event -- an object lock maybe, or possibly completion of your
first job; you'd have to decide what to wait on. When the delay was
satisfied or when it was a non-delay job, simply do a TFRCTL to QCMD or
whatever routing program would normally be activated.
