Hi,

We have a production job that runs 5 days a week through CA-7. Can we introduce a new step into it to use PGM=IKJEFT1A to submit another batch job that does SORT? If it had to be IKJEFT1A then why to use INTDR? Sorry, am actually confused Confused

Please suggest the PROs and CONs. Rolling Eyes

Thanks.

If the submitting job is controlled by CA-7, you will then be breaking the chain of command by submitting externally via batch TSO.

I would keep everything under the control of CA-7

ranga_subham,

CA-7 has it own batch program to submit/trigger jobs. Check the manual

If this sort is now to be part of the Production Job, why not simply include it in the job?

There must be something i misunderstand. . . Confused

IKJEFT1A then why to use INTDR?

why do you think that IKJEFT1A and INTDR are interchangable?

You need to a better job in explaining your problem. If I go by your subject line

then the answer is -- IKJEFTA1 is actually "batch TSO", so you are indeed submitting some job in batch; however, the rather interesting question is -- what prompoted you to ask what you'e asked for, why the idea is coined out?

Anuj Dhawan,

I think you have mistaken about what OP wanted. I believe OP wanted to know if he can submit another job using IKJEFT01, something in the lines of what shown here

May be and if so, I'm not yet sure what OP is looking for Kolusu and I'll walk silently for some time now.
