//jobname positional parms,keyword parms,.... Restart=step3
//..
//..
//..
//step3 exec=xxxx
//...
//step4 exec=yyyy,cond=(0,Le,step3)
//..
//step5 exec=zzzz

Restart =step 3 executes step3.Step 3 gives some return
code.In step 4,the test is passed as 0 is less than step
3.So step 4 is bypassed and is not executed. and the
program is responsible for issuing the return code that
was not even loaded in the main storage.
The result: no return code can exist
In the steps that follow any test of COND parameter tat
attempts to interrogate this non-existent return
code will be ignored . Step 5 will be e executed.

Answer / syntel

Sorry,my previous solution was wrong.Infact it is correct
if you don't want to skip step 4th step

The correct solution for this is
to use COND paramater.

Answer / pradeep

The below given code provides the exact solution,

//STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=XXX.GENERAL.STUDY(TEST001),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=EXCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP003,STEP005)

Answer / rudolf

This jcl is the correct answer, this is used to run a batch
job in production environment.
*** if the JCL will run step3 and step5 condcode is 0
while step4 condcode is flush means it will not run.

//jobname jobcardxx
// xxxxx
// xxxxx
// xxxxx
//..
//..
//step3 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(4,lt)
//....
//....
//step4 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(0,le)
//....
//....
//step5 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(4,lt)
//....
//....

Answer / sivakumar sekharannair

1)Give restart=step03 in job card
2)in step04 give cond=(0,le)
3)step05 no condition neeeded

sample jcl is given below



//AAUT001D JOB ,'TEST',MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=C,MSGCLASS=H,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID,RESTART=STEP003

//STEP001 EXEC PGM=AUT0EMP
//EMPLOY1 DD DSN=PROGMR.SBPD.EMP.DATA.SAMPLE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

//STEP002 EXEC
PGM=AUT0EMP
//EMPLOY1 DD
DSN=PROGMR.SBPD.EMP.DATA.SAMPLE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD
SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD
SYSOUT=*

//STEP003 EXEC PGM=AUT0EMP
//EMPLOY1 DD DSN=PROGMR.SBPD.EMP.DATA.SAMPLE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

//STEP004 EXEC PGM=AUT0EMP,COND=
(0,LE)
//EMPLOY1 DD
DSN=PROGMR.SBPD.EMP.DATA.SAMPLE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD
SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD
SYSOUT=*

//STEP005 EXEC PGM=AUT0EMP
//EMPLOY1 DD DSN=PROGMR.SBPD.EMP.DATA.SAMPLE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

Answer / rajesh

We use the COND Parameter for By pass the 5th step &
RESTART=Step Name in the job Card.
// Jobname Job Acc.info,Programmer
name,..............,Restart=Step3
//Step4 EXEC PGM=Program Name,COND=(0,LE,Step3)
//Step5 EXEC PGM=Program Name
//

Answer / name

It depends on the situation. I recommend against using
IEBEDIT to alter the JCL. Use of IF ... THEN is more
perspicuous than use of the COND parm.
