Hi,

I have a question regarding flow of Triggered Jobs.
Code:

//STEP1    EXEC  PGM=TEST1
//*
//STEP2    EXEC  PGM=TEST1
//*
//STEP3    EXEC  PGM=IEBGENER                                           
//SYSUT1   DD  DSN=TRIGGER.NXTJOB.JCL,                         
//             DISP=SHR                                                 
//SYSUT2   DD  SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR),                                       
//             DCB=(RECFM=F,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80)                       
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY                                                   
//*                                                                     
//STEP4    EXEC  PGM=TEST1
//*


Here STEP1 executes and then STEP2 then we are triggering TRIGGER.NXTJOB.JCL internally under STEP3.

My question is

1. Will STEP4 execute only if TRIGGER.NXTJOB.JCL executes fine without any abend?


Cheers,

arvibala,

NO your step4 will execute irrespective of the job submitted by step3. Moreover even though step3 submitted the job. the new submitted job will wait until your original job is completed and then kick off.

The submitted job would only be delayed if it has the same jobname as the submitter job.
