Have a job where we didn't want to run some steps for awhile, so we put a //  in it.

ESP is reading past the // and submitting more than it should.

In this job, there is another //JOB card as it is data for the program to manipulate.

ESP will submit jobs when it detects multiple job cards in JCL

Release : 12.0

Component : CA ESP WORKLOAD AUTOMATION

If you do not want the second job to run then comment out the JOB card for the second job.
