RE: How to wait for a submit job

["Bale, Dan" <DBale@xxxxxxxx>]

Do one SBMJOB that will execute all of the tasks you were going to submit
separately.  You already said that you're saving the selected subfile
records to a temporary file.  Just read that temporary file in your
submitted program and call the appropriate program "inline".
