I have to split into 2 array to execute the job and create two separate scripts and submit twice otherwise I got the error message:
Bad job name. Job not submitted.
If in the future I need arrays with 5k or 10K indexes it will be even more fastidious to do the splitting and several submission manually.
A solution needs to be implemented to overcome this limitation.
