Is there any specific reason for not using sequencers?

1. Two "dsjob" commands from the script.
2. Job schedulers.

Is this another interview question ?

Do not know whether it is just me, but your questions appear to point towards specific properties by constraining all general and default options, which is typical of interviews.

It's OK, no question was asked.

you can use batch mode to run jobs without sequence

[ray.wurlod]

A batch IS a sequence, except for having no GUI and a specific naming convention. Similarly a job control routine IS a sequence, except for having no GUI.

Of course the really smart answer is to use a sequence.

A sequence is not a sequencer. A sequencer makes an "any/all" decision about which of its inputs has fired.
