Answer / y@$w@nth
We can go for concatenation of datasets approach for this
to do
//userid01 job .....
//stp1 exec pgm=sort
//sortin dd dsn=userid01.test.input1,disp=shr
// dd dsn=userid01.test.input2,disp=shr
//sortout dd dsn=userid01.test.input,disp=shr
//sysout dd sysout=*
//sysin dd *
sort fields=copy
/*
//
In the above case the statement
sortin dd dsn=userid01.test.input1,disp=shr
// dd dsn=userid01.test.input2,disp=shr
means concatenation of two datasets as one.....
Let me know if i am wrong

In a JCL if previous steps return code is greater than 0 or 4 then the next step will not execute. But the job will be successfull with the maximum return code. How can we reset this maximum return code to '0' regardless of return codes of any steps?

My JCL has 4 steps that execute PROC’s P1, P2, P3 and P4 as shown below //P1 EXEC PROC=P1 //P2 EXEC PROC=P2 //P3 EXEC PROC=P3 //P4 EXEC PROC=P4 There are four steps S1, S2, S3 and S4 in each PROC’s (i.e. P1, P2, P3 and P4) I want to execute only step S2 of PROC P2 and no other steps or PROC’s. How do you achieve this?
