/PREDECESSOR={script-name} /NOPREDECESSOR (default) The /PREDECESSOR qualifier links scripts. These scripts execute in sequence; one successfully completes before the next one begins. The predecessor script name must exist in the scheduling database or an error status message is returned. You can use wildcards in the script-name specification. Use an asterisk (*) to take action on all scripts on the VMScluster system. Use a percent sign (%) to match a single character in the script- name specification.
