I've probably asked a variation on this before:

Given a system in which the defaults for SBMJOB are set up to run multiple batch jobs concurrently,

AND given that a series of batch jobs are being spawned off from a CL program running in a terminal session, that are designed to run sequentially, and are guaranteed to get into fights with each other if run concurrently,

Is there an easy way, short of setting up a private batch job queue, to force sequential execution?
