IIRC, slurm parses the batch file as options until it hits the first
non-comment line, which includes blank lines.
You may want to double-check some of the gaps in the option section of
your batch script.
That being said and you say you removed the '&' at the end of the
command, which would help.
If they are all exiting with exit code 9, you need to look at the code
for your a.out to see what code 9 means, as that is who is raising that
error. Slurm sees that and if it is non-zero, it interprets it as a
failed job.

Thanks Loris and Gareth. here is the job submission script. if you
find any errors please let me know.
since i am not the admin but just an user, i think i dont have access
to the prolog and epilogue files.
If the jobs are independent, why do you want to run them all on the same
node?
I am running sequential codes. Essentially 50 copies of the same node
with a variation in parameter.
Since I am using the Slurm scheduler, the nodes and cores are
allocated depending upon the
available resources. So there are instances, when 20 of them goes to
20 free cores located on a particular
node and the rest 30 goes to the free 30 cores on another node. It
turns out that only 1 job out of 20 and 1 job
out of 30 are completed succesfully with exitcode 0 and the rest gets
terminated with exitcode 9.
for information, i run sjobexitmod -l jobid to check the exitcodes.
