How many jobs(maximum) can we give in one member to submit?How many steps(maximum) can we give in one job?How many steps (maximum) can we give in one member to execute after submitting?
RE: 1.how many jobs(maximum) can we give in one member...
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.
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.
