Small correction - stepname=(step2) will allow job to run
step1 and step3 and exclude step2 from execution

//XXXXXXXX JOB (XXX),'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
// CLASS=D,PRTY=5,MSGCLASS=T,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=XXXXXXXX.XXXX.XXXX(MEMBER NAME),DISP=SHR

//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=EXCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP2)

Answer / ramesh

Use IEBEDIT to skip step 2 and execute step1 and step3 as below
//XXXXXXXX JOB (XXX),'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
// CLASS=D,PRTY=5,MSGCLASS=T,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=XXXXXXXX.XXXX.XXXX(MEMBER NAME),DISP=SHR

//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=EXCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP01,STEP05)
