Control-M: Order date (prerequisite), two jobs with different load dates

Question

I have two jobs with different load dates (not same day):

• JobA: runs at the end of month (may be 28th, 29 th, 30th).
• JobB: runs at the beginning of the month (may be 1st, 2nd).

I want to make JobA as prerequisite of JobB.

How can I proceed, in control M, since the two jobs are not in the same load date and they don't have specific date to run.
