If the JCL is not submitted by TSO/ISPF where automatic
generation of a JOB card is normal, you simply add a card
to the deck that has only //. This signals to the JCL
conversion that the jobstream had ended.
e.g
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP3 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP4 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP5 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP6 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP7 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP8 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP9 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP10 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
// <- END of job signal to JCL conversion
//STEP11 EXEC PGM=.... From here down is ignored
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP12 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP13 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...

After 10th step you should give jcl null statement or else
code condition parameter in step11.

The answer #5 by Challa Srinivas is wrong, if we give //STEP11 EXEC=PGM2,COND=(0,LE,STEP10) then it will only not run Step11 but will run all the step after it.

Answer / challa srinivas
Just code at step 11 as below.
//STEP11 EXEC=PGM2,COND=(0,LE,STEP10).
Please note that Step 10 should execute successfully at any cost else again the job will start executing from step 11 till end.

A statement about PROCs is " In PROCs, Symbolic Parameters can be assigned on PROC and EXEC", BUT On which EXEC, (i) On the JCL's EXEC which is calling to PROC1. (Inside JCL, EXEC PROC1) (ii) or On the PROC's EXEC where it calls the PGM1. (Inside PROC, EXEC PGM=PGM1)
