RE: Forcing batch jobs to run sequentially when batch is set up to run multiple jobs concurrently?

I ordinarily run from using the priority in this way but Paul is exactly
correct, and it's what I would suggest.

From a work management perspective it's about as easy to implement as it

can get, non-intrusive and reasonably easy to see when you look at it.

The only real bad news: Unless you're experienced in Work Management you
might not understand what you're seeing when you look at the subsystem job
queue definitions.

Set up your subsystem and job queue to single-thread by a specific run
priority (like 6). Set the max-active jobs for priority 6 to be '1', and
submit the jobs with runpty(6).

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?
