@Ram,
This is the answer I too gave in the interview.
But the questioner reiterated it's going to abend.
So now thinking on,I get the below:
Restart the job with input having records which are not
processed.By looking at output we can be sure of uptill what
record it was processed. So using DFSORT extract the records
from the last processed one and pass it as i/p and restart
the job from there.
Please let me know your view on this and other possible
answers.

Answer / rajveer
Above scenario holds true when o/p file is diff from driver i/p file. But what if i/p file is getting updated? In that case how we can come to know which all a/c gets updated? One way to avoid such situation is to take backup of the file which is getting updated in previous step, and in case of error restart from backup step.
Leme know if anyone has a diff opinion.

Answer / balmukund
Might be the o/p file size is less than the input file.
Please use that more than 200 Tracks than input file with
RlSE option in size parameter. I think this will resolve the
issue.
