Multi-threading

[VENU YAMAJALA <venu_yamajala@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

 I want to know how to implement multi-threaded jobs on AS400. My requirement
is as follows :

I have a CL program(CL1). It reads records from a physical file PF1. For each
record of PF1, I submit a batch job with different parameters. Now the driver
CL (CL1) pgm itself runs in batch. So after submitting CL1 in batch, if I look
at the JOBQ, it is forking into several batch jobs (number of records in PF1).
But each of this batch jobs are running sequentially i.e, one after the other.
I am loosing lot of time here. I want to have a mechanism wherein, the CL1 pgm
when it is forked to several batch jobs, a specified number of the batch jobs
run simultaneously (say 10 at a time). This way I can reduce total run-time. If
there are 100 jobs, I can reduce the total time by more than 75%. I know that
it is possible but missing lot of points. Can anybody guide me in this? Thanx
in advance for any help/suggestion.

Regards,
Venu
