Answer / muttaiah
JCL processes steps sequentially i mean to say we have ways
to skip steps but we don't have a way to run steps in
reverse or random way. EX; i have a job with steps 1, 2, 3.
Executing steps 3, 1, 2 is not at all possible.
If you want to do so then you have to write a new JCL with
IEBEDIT utility. Here is the JCL.
//JOBCARD AS PER INSTALLATION
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=FILE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD *
TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPS=(STEP4,STEP3,STEP2,STEP1)
/*
//
Here file1 can either be PDS/PS that holds the actual JCL.
Type=Include will copy the steps specified in the sequence
as per STEPS parm
In real time there won't be any scenario as such..If any
interviewer asks this question then blast him with this
answer. Tell him not to waste your time by such questions

Just correction on above answers, It will work
//JOBCARD AS PER INSTALLATION
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=FILE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE = INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP4,STEP3,STEP2,STEP1)
