Syntax

1.  Start at successful completion of predecessor job. In this
   * example, the user selects the predecessor job from a list of
   * jobs. The jobs are selected with BP_JOB_SELECT and displayed
   * for selection to the user with BP_JOBLIST_PROCESSOR. 
   *
   * Important: If you specify a predecessor job directly in your 
   * program (not interactively chosen), then be sure that the 
   * predecessor job has the status Scheduled or Released when 
   * you schedule the successor job. Otherwise, the successor 
   * scheduling will fail. That is, a job that is active or 
   * already completed cannot be specified as a predecessor job.
