Answer / amarnath reddy

Hi,

It is possible to execute selected steps. Use IEBEDIT
utility we can execute selected steps.

Ex: //xcon39ac dob (p54I9k),'amarnath',class=x,....
//JS05 exec pgm=IEBEDIT
//.
.
.
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,
STEPNAME=(STEP2,STEP4,STEP6,STEP8,STPE10)
/*
//

Answer / suputhru

MR Amarnath ReddY IS RIGHT.


Use IEBEDIT utility

NOTE: For not execution of steps use: EXCLUDE

Answer / raghavendra

Use Restart=step2 command in job card, then use COND=(0.LE) in steps 3,5,7,9 to skip (this cond parameter will the skip the steps only if previous steps ended with CC=0)

//Jobid job (t,aa,sys),'acct',class= , msgclass= ,region=0M,restart = step2
//*
//step1 exec
//step2 exec pgm=xxx
//step3 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(0,le)
//step4 exec
//step5 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(0,le)
//step6 exec
//step7 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(0,le)
//step8 exec
//step9 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(0,le)
//step10 exec

Answer / pavan

If we can edit the JCL then add a COND to the steps which you don't want to execute so that you can skip those.

Answer / sivaramakrishna

yes we can execute the above statements using cond
condition.

Answer / druks

It , depends on you having the JCL in a proc or are running it instream (simpler option) , you can delete the steps you do not require and run job'
Proc : in the EXEC JCL
Job statement put a RESTART Parm ,
in the EXEC JCL .
//stepa exec procname,cond=(1111,ne,stepxxx),cond=(1111,ne,stepxx1)
stepxxx ,stepxx1 step you want to exclude

Answer / naveen

yes its possible comment the 1,3,5,7,9 steps

Answer / mahesh

I think its not possible because , always first step need
to execute, then based on the CC of the first step,
we can specify COND whether to SKIP or Process a Step in
JCl.

Note : You cannot use Restart Parameter in the above
cases. it is used only when the Job is Abended.
