Subject: How do you determine when numerous SBMJOBs have ALL finished

Good morning all
I have one job that submits numerous (a lot) of submit jobs
Once ALL of them have finished SUCCESSFULLY, I need to submit another one (let's call it PROGRAMLAST)
I was just wondering if anyone else is doing or has done the same thing, what process was used.
I am toying with the idea of using a data area and within each SBMJOB adding 1 to this data area and checking for a particular value in the PROGRAMLAST program
This would mean that PROGRAMLAST would need to be always submitted, but waiting for a value to appear in the data area
