RE: How to wait for a submit job

[Chris Bipes <rpg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Add a reply or return to your submitted job.  i.e. have the job at LR send
an entry to a data queue identifying itself and completion status.  You
would wait at the data queue for the message before submitting the next job.
But would this not lock up the user terminal? Waiting for the first to
complete before the second is submitted from the subfile?   Perhaps submit
all the jobs as held with a final job, not held, that reads a file of jobs
submitted and releases one job at a time, waiting for the data queue
signaling the completion of the previous job to release the next job.  Well
this means that you have TWO jobs running in batch and I hope that there
system allows this.

Good Luck,

Subject: How to wait for a submit job




I have a subfile in which I can run several options and there are some of
them
that
can be run in batch, I have one program that does that. Before those batch
options start to run I
copy all the selected subfile records to a temporary file.

My problem is that I would like to know how can I wait for the first sbmjob
and
then run the second, I dont want two
or more jobs running simultaneously.

I could send them for a jobq that only runs a job at the same time, but I
dont
have one and it isnt  guaranteed
that if I have one in one customer (for instance QBATCH jobq) I will have
the
same in another, and also I dont
want to create one especially for that.

How can I submit one job and then wait for that end and there run another
one
(the same job but with other *ENTRY parms) if it as been submited  meanwhile
?

I use RPG/400.

TIA,
Silvio.
