Hi Andycool,

SUBMIT2 step should be the last step of job1. So once the steps of job1 are finished JOB1 will execute the SUBMIT2 step which will submit the second job.

If the jobs are interrelated then we should give cond parameter too.

Hi Guys,
As per your above comments the SUBMIT2 step will be the last step. As i am chaining here a series of jobs, it will be necessary for me to keep a track of Return Codes. For instance:

===========================================
Job1step1
Job1step2
Job1step3
Job1SUBMIT2 //this will submit the job JOB2
Job2step1
Job2step2
Job2step3
Job2SUBMIT3 //this will submit the job JOB3
==========================================

As illustrated above if i want to chk a condition that :

If the RC of Job1 = 0 then only proceed with the step Job1SUBMIT2...how can i do this?
As i am chaining a series of jobs, this check will be required to ensure that the previous job has finished successfully and the next job in the series can be submitted.

Hey die7 thanks for that.
Please tell me if the below psuedo code is valid or not:

======================
Job1step1
Job1step2
IF Job1step2.RC <> 0 THEN // I want to continue execution of
// Job1tep3 even though Job1Step2
// is not properly executed.

Job1step3
ENDIF
Job1step3
IF Job1step3.RC = 0 THEN
Job1SUBMIT2
ENDIF
Job1SUBMIT2 //this will submit the job JOB2
Job2step1
Job2step2
Job2step3
Job2SUBMIT3 //this will submit the job JOB3
===========================================

Bottomline: To continue the job even though Job1Step2 is not properly executed. That is not to abend the job at any point of time.

Hi Guys,
I have tried here to structure a job, considering all your inputs especially those from MGIndalco and Die7 in the thread. This is just the first job in the chain. It'll look like this:

==========================================
//Job1 JOB ...
//
//Job1step1
//
//Job1step2
//
//Job1step3
//
//JOB1SUBMIT2 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,
// COND=(0,GT),
// PARM='',DYNAMNBR=50,
// REGION=4096K
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
PROF PREFIX(ANDYCOOL)
SUBMIT 'ANDYCOOL.TEST.JOBS(JOB2)'
==========================================
This will submit the Job2.
The COND=(0,GT) will submit the JOB2 even though the prevoius job maxcc is not zero.

Please let me know if i am missing any segments here.
Also let me know, in the "PROF PREFIX(USERID)"; is the userid is my TSOid ?

Thanks in Advance,

Ya u shud be good to go, I hope u already know what u mean by the PROF command. It will prefix all unqualified Datasets with the prefix mentioned, that Id is ur TSO id. Make sure the Input files are all having the high level qualifier as ur TSO ID.

Hi Die7,
Just when i thought it was over, yet a new doubt related to same topic.

Till this point i successfully ran a chain consisting of four jobs.
JOB1=>JOB2=>JOB3=>JOB4
This is working fine.

One of my requirement is, to get a msg in SYSOUT at the end of each job, like:
At the end of JOB1 in its sysout the msg shud be
"Msg- Job1 successful, proceeding to Job2"
and so on

Is there anyway i can get this.
Please let me know,
Thanks in Advance !

Hi Andycool, I don't understand your request... are you looking for way to put a message as a WTO upon console? Or are you only looking for a way to append results of execution in another output?
