You can create a NULL (//) point after the 5 step. so the
job will stop after step 5 is executed.
I don't think we can do it via JOB CARD. Please let me know
if anyone knows.

Answer / praveen kumar bejjanki
There are two ways in order to achieve this.
1. Give a null statement(//) after step5
2. Give the cond parameter starting from step6 through
step10 as cond=(0,le). This parameter will bypasses the
step6 through step10 as it satisfies the cond for any of
the RC(return code).
Is there any other way, kindly let me know.....
Thanks!

Answer / bala
Give COND=(99,NE)for all the other steps following STEP5.
Its skips those steps.
Also, a Null (//) given after STEP5 does the same.

Answer / shivakrishna
we can bypass by giving cond parameters in step from 6 if
we know the cond codes from previous steps.

Answer / venkataramana
It is simple after fifth step we will use cond=(0,LE) in
each step for avoiding the execution.

Answer / veer
'to execute first 5 steps only', end of the 5th step
introduce NULL(//) character and run. first 5 steps will
run.
If you want to run step3, step5, step10 like that, use
IEBEDIT utility.

How to read and write a single record into a file. I would like to use it to enter a single 8-character piece of information and use it to put it into a variable for processing in JCL. Thank you
Please go thru the below points and let me know how to code this. 1. Sort the input dataset for the condition : Starting position is 37,length of the field is 13 based on character and in the ascending order , starting from position 25 length of 12 ,character and in the ascending order. Use a temporary dataset to hold the sorted file. 2. Use the temporary file created in the above step as the input for the next step. The next step is to execute a program and produce an output file. Use the temporary file created in the above as work file 1 and the output of the file to be created in this step work file 2.Also, pass a parameter to the program that is to be executed in this step. The parameter should have the current date in YYYYMMDD format. For the sake of convenience, you can use the below Job Name : Sample1 Input DSN : PCABDT11.CABD.TEST.INPUT Temporary DSN : Sort1 Output DSN : PCABDT11.CABD.TEST.OUTPUT Program Name : SAMPLE Thanks in Advance for your response.
COND -> step1 . . step2, Step2, Executes if the CC of step1 is 0. But even if it is NOT 0 and if we dont give COND, will step2 be executed ?
