RE: How to wait for a submit job

Again, based on what you're telling us, I think you should still be able to
do one SBMJOB.  In your submitted job, read through the temporary file that
contains the selected subfile records in a loop, then CALL your program
(specifying the appropriate parameters specific to the selected "subfile"
record) within that submitted job.

So, if your user selects 3 subfile records that you would now submit 3 jobs
for:
SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM1 PARM('12345' 'WIDGET12' '20000315'))
SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM1 PARM('15973' 'HAMMER331' '20000401'))
SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM1 PARM('28460' 'WRENCH222' '20000229'))

then change it to submit just one program:

SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM1FF)

Pgm: PGM1FF

     Pgm
     DclF TempFile /* This is the temporary file built from selected subfile
records */ 
     Loop:   RcvF
               MonMsg CPF0864  Exec( Goto EndLoop )
             Call PGM1  Parm( &Cust# &Part# &Date ) <=== Parms from your
temp file
             Goto Loop
     EndLoop:
     EndPgm

This should work unless there are specific requirements for having the
selected options running in their own job.
