trigger a job through a job ?

Hi,

I have a series of 10 jcls which I have to execute one by one. But is there a way to run the jobs where if I submit the first JCL the sequence of jcls run automatically one after the other ? Can I trigger a job through a job ?

You have three options

NO changes to jcl stream

1 ) use opc or whatever job scheduling system is used in your organization

2) use the DJC //*NET statement

WITH changes to the jcl streams

3) after the application steps add a last step to submit to the internal reader the next job

IMO the less intrusive approach is number 2

Thanks enrico.
What is //*NET do? Is not it a comment?

We have CA-7 but this we want to maintain outside scheduler.

I checked on INTRDR and that also looks like a good choice, Thanks for the pointer enrico.

Check the JCL Reference manual -- //*NET is definitely NOT a comment.
