Re: How to wait for a submit job

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Create a never ending job that always runs.  Have each 
SBMJOB write out to a data queue instead.  The never ending 
job will read the data queue and process the jobs sequentially.  
Also, you can create a DEDICATE procedure that can pass a 
certain string to the data queue to shut it down.  To undedicate 
it, simple resubmit the data queue job.

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.
