Re: How do you determine when numerous SBMJOBs have ALL finished

I would use a file containing the starting end ending times for each
job. When all of the ending times have been updated, the jobs have
completed. This would also provide you with a history of what happened
and allow you to monitor the jobs in case they take longer than they
should (if they error out for example).

It isn't as efficient as a date queue or a data area but there isn't a
lot of I/O.

You will also get zero if none of the jobs are running for some other reason(s).  Like, held job queue, inactive subsystem, . . .

Use the QUSLJOB API to retrieve a list of those jobs in an "ACTIVE"
status
for the job name. If the return is 0, then all jobs with that name have
completed. There are a few examples you can find through a Google
search of
this API and its use.

Question! what happens if every single sbmjob job is held up in a job
queue
(or even just one when all others have finished)? And when the last
program
runs, it'll see zero in the data area. Thus executing.  If you do this
method, I would make sure that you add to the data area before the
submit
occurs.  However let the submitted job handle the subtraction.
