Using SPICE restart logic.

Answer / sudhakar mallela

i thing restart is using in jcl this is exec parameter,
if we have the 3 steps in jcl
//step1
//step2
//step3 in this case we run the jcl and got the abend at stop3,we don't want to run again step1 and step2,
directly we write like this
Restart = step3 bypass step1 to step2.

Answer / mahendra babu

it is a keyword parameter at job level which is used restart the job from a specific step as per the user requriment.
syntax: 1) restart = step name.
2)restart = jclstep.proc step.
ex:-//jobcard , restart= (s3).
//s1
//s2
//s3
//s4
at the above ex is used to restart the job from s3 using the restart parameter.

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
