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

I don't think that will help with this Michael's issue since those jobs still in the job queue are not int an ACTIVE status either.

Use the QUSLJOB API to retrieve a list of those jobs in an "ACTIVE" status
for the job name. If the return is 0, then all jobs with that name have
completed. There are a few examples you can find through a Google search of
this API and its use.

Question! what happens if every single sbmjob job is held up in a job queue
(or even just one when all others have finished)? And when the last program
runs, it'll see zero in the data area. Thus executing.  If you do this
method, I would make sure that you add to the data area before the submit
occurs.  However let the submitted job handle the subtraction.
