I never set QBATCH to run only one at a time. If you need sequential
processing, use a different queue. A vendor should not assume that
customers have this set to one at a time. QBATCH is currently set to

7 at

a time.

I set it according to the job priority. QBatch priority 5 - 9 is one
at
a time. Priority 1 is unlimited, 2-4 are declining numbers.

... so this means that, unless you give your users nonstandard priority
limits, Joe will not be able to submit jobs to run concurrently with Mary's,
right?
