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?

1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.
