1.File-tailoring services read skeleton files and write tailored output that can be
used to drive other functions.
2.Frequently, file tailoring is used to generate job files for batch execution.

FTOPEN - Prepares the file-tailoring process and specifies whether
the temporary file is to be used for output
FTINCL - Specifies the skeleton to be used and starts the tailoring process
FTCLOSE - Ends the file-tailoring process
FTERASE - Erases an output file created by file tailoring


he file name of the temporary file is available in system variable ZTEMPF.
In MVS�, ZTEMPF contains a data set name.

The ddname of the temporary file is available in system variable ZTEMPN.

THERE IS ONE STEP AS BELOW: //STEPJS060 EXEC PGM=XYX, COND=((200,EQ,JS010),(0,NE,JS020.C),EVEN) COULD ANY ONE EXPLAIN HOW COND PARAMETER WORKS HERE? I AM CONFUSED BECOZ OF "EVEN".

What is Automatic Restart ? EXEC PGM = PROG1, RD = R (Is it the Restart of a JOBSTEP or Restarting the execution of the program?) Do we Restart it or it automatically Restarts executing again and again ? Then when it will finish executing ? or After Abending, when we submit it again, then it is Restarted from the Last successful Checkpoint ? If some JOBSTEP is abending, what is the benifit to Restart it, WILL IT NOT ABEND AGAIN if you don't change the LOGIC ?

IF WE GIVE COND on step3 then, What does the following mean ? And Just adding to that, All the below COND are VALID as per the specifications. (i) COND = (8,LT,step1,step2) ---(AND/OR ?) (ii) COND = (8,LT,step1,step2, ONLY), (iii) COND = (8,LT,step1,ONLY) will it execute only if this condition is true or only if step1 ABENDS ? (iv) COND = (8,LT,step1,step2,EVEN), (v) COND = (8,LT,step1,EVEN) ?
