Answer / anil sana
You can do that using IEBEDIT. Pls read JCL manual for more
details. I am citing an example below.
The member XXXXX in SYSUT1 contains the job and steps to be
executed.
//STEP0001 EXEC
PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD
SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD
SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=ANIL.SANA(XXXXX),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=
(*,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD
*
EDIT START=ANILPROC,TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=
(STEP2,STEP4,STEP3,STEP5......)

Answer / pradeep
See below the exact code for your requirement: Here TEST001
contains your actual JCL to be executed
//Job Card
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=XXX.GENERAL.STUDY(TEST001),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP01,STEP02,STEP04)
/*
//STEP002 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=XXX.GENERAL.STUDY(TEST001),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP03,STEP05,STEP06)

Answer / manohar (techmahindra)
In JCL one key word parametor is there that is DPRTY.It can
be done by using DPRTY(Value1,Value2) in the
job step,
hear Value1 allwawys 15
DPRTY=(15*15)=255
yOU CAN INCRESE Value2 value based on your requirment,You
can execute up to 255 steps in your JOB.
eg.,
//MANOHAR JOB 'TECHMAHINDRA'
//**
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=A ,DPRTY=(15*6)
//STEP02 EXEC PGM=A ,DPRTY=(15*5)
//STEP03 EXEC PGM=A ,DPRTY=(15*3)
//STEP04 EXEC PGM=A ,DPRTY=(15*4)
//STEP05 EXEC PGM=A ,DPRTY=(15*2)
//STEP06 EXEC PGM=A ,DPRTY=(15*1)
//**
//
By doing this according to there dispatching priority
each
step will be executed,
first it will execute step01,02,04,03,05,06

Answer / piyush mani
in this case we can either use
iebedit utility or
dprty
but using eibedit is better option bcoz it wont affect the main jcl

Answer / neha
we do use the code mentioned by the person who answered
first but we don't include step3 and step4 at one go.in
first step we include step 1 and 4 and then in the next
step we include step3 but the coding we use is the same.
for both steps....

Answer / nagaraj
It can be done by using DPRTY(dispatching priority) in the
job step,
eg., code dprty = (15*12) + 16 in step02
dprty = (15*07) + 06 in step03
dprty = (15*10) + 16 in step04
dprty = (15*05) + 04 in step05
dprty = (15*04) + 03 in step06.
by doing this according to there dispatching priority each
step will be executed,
first it will execute step01,02,04,03,05,06

I have 20 steps in a job... step01, 02....step17...step20. For some reason I want to execute step17 only if the return code for all the previous steps are less than or equal to 4. otherwise if return code for any of the previous 16 steps is greater than 4, then step17 should be bypassed.
