Never heard anything regarding any limit on number of jobs submitted.

Number of steps in 1 job - no more than 255.

Member - i guess you mean PDS member - actually it doesn't matter from where job is submitted. How many will run - depends on the number of available initiators for Job clasess and job names for the same classes - some jobs may have to wait.

hi

There is no limit on the number of jobs in a member(i mean PDS member).

Regarding steps i a single job we can have at most 255 steps including the steps in the Proc's(inline and cataloged).

RE: 1.how many jobs(maximum) can we give in one member...

each & every statement have upper limit in JCl. Like we can code uptp 255 Exec stmt. within a job. we can code uptp 3273 DD stmt within a Exec stmt. But its correct that we can code more then one Job stmt within a member. I have tried with 1800 job stmt. there was no error. JCl was error free. I think there is an upper limit but i wanna tell to s/w people that never try to implement this thing inside company without prior approval of your manager. because if you will submit a jcl with around 2000 job then mainframe will hang. hang in the sense every job have to wait untill your job completed.
