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

Answer / pradip

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)
/*

Answer / pradeep

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. :)

1-1
2-2

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.

If job is submitted with typerun = hold then how can we submit the same job?
