Answer / ravikumar. r
You can IEBEDIT utility for your requirement. The syntax as
follows.
Syntax:
//JOBCARD
//PS010 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=path of your JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(PS008,PS004)

Answer / manish_cics
through DPRTY w'll excute step 8 before step 4 ,if u
provide step 8 higher prty compared to the step 4,then it
is possible to execute step 8 first.
Guys if I am wrong plz correct me

I propose a syntax below to meet the requirement,
excute first STEP008 then excute STEP004
//JOBCARD
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=path of your JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP008)
/*
//*
//STEP002 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=path of your JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP004)

Hi RaviKumar,
Your above solution is not working. It just executes both
the steps in the sequence with which it is defined in the
JCL.
I propose a syntax below to meet the requirement,
//JOBCARD
//PS010 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=path of your JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(PS008)
/*
//PS020 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=path of your JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(PS004)
/*
Here I have given a separate IEBEDIT to execute the same
JCL but different step exec seqeunce. As simple as that.
I would really wish if there is a much better solution to
the one that I have given here. :)

Answer / muttaiah
@ Loga: If we use your option then we have to restart the
same job Twice to achieve this.
@ Pradip: Generally we won't be having that much time to
write a JCl with 2 steps and check the execution
If anyone can provide a simple solution that would be
better.
Sorry if you guys feel hurt but it's true!!!

Answer / loga
code restart parameter in jobcard as below.
JOBNAME JOB ,,MSGCLASS=***,NOTIFY=***,
RESTART=STEP8,COND(0,LE)
- only step 8 will execute
then change the jobcard with RESTART=STEP4,COND(0,LE)
- only step 4 wil be executed.

My Question is 1. How to cound no. of records in JCL. Please explain with an example. 2. How to execute only odd steps in JCL? I know EDIT TYPE = Inculde, Step Name = 1,3,5 and COND code for all even step. Anyone knows other than this.

Hi, Say I have 10 flat files and I want to copy all these 10 flat files to a GDG versions flat files (I have GDG base: FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE) in one shot. Can we do that in one shot using a JCL. May be by using IEBGENER. It's a bit urgent. So anyone's fast rely would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance.. 10 flat files ----------------------------------- FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE1 FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE2 FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE3 ; ; FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE10 TO GDG versions ----------------------- FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0001V00 FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0002V00 FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0003V00 ; ; FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0010V00
