Just one correction above:

In case of failure:

STEP006 (-1)
STEP007 (0)

Answer / vijay reddy

STEP004 (+1)
STEP005 (+2)

STEP006 (+1)
STEP007 (+2)

if the Job ABENDS, Restart the Job from 6th Step & refer
GDG Versions like

STEP006 (-1)
STEP007 (0)

Answer / nimsatprasad

Ref:

Ex:

Step 4 output: XX17.PRASAD.OUT(+4) This step can be
referred as in Step6.

Step 5 output: XX17.PRASAD.OUT(+5) This step can be
referred as in Step7.

If the Job bends in 6the step so already 5th step has been
processed successfully. So we can restart from the step6
then we can refer the 5th step output to 7th step input as
current version.

After abend:

Step 5 output: XX17.PRASAD.OUT(+5) This step can be
referred as XX17.PRASAD.OUT(0) in Step7 after abends the
job.

**** Please let me know if it is wrong

Answer / suputhru

4 & 5 step creates a new generation
STEP004 (+1) o/p----- STEP006 (+1)
STEP005 (+2) o/p----- STEP007 (+2)

STEP006 (+1)
STEP007 (+2)

if the Job ABENDS, it means 4th 5th steps executed suceesfully.
STEP004 (-1) o/p-------------------- STEP006
STEP005 (0) o/p-------------------- STEP007

Restart the Job from 6th Step & refer GDG Versions like

STEP006 (-1)
STEP007 (0)

Answer / hi

check this out:

//JOB123 JOB (TEST,DATA).....
//..
//..
//STEP4 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,
//OUT4 DD DSN=OUT.STEP4(+1),...
//..
//STEP5 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,
//OUT5 DD DSN=OUT.STEP5(+1),...
//..
//STEP6 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,COND=(0,GT,STEP4)
//IN5 DD DSN OUT.STEP4(+1),DISP=SHR,
//..
//STEP7 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,COND=(0,GT,STEP5)
//IN5 DD DSN OUT.STEP5(+1),DISP=SHR,
//..


COND=(0,GT,STEP4) in STEP6 will bypass the step6 if RC of
step4 is greater than 0. But step 7 will be executed
irrespective of the success of the step4 provided step5 is
successful...

is it clear??

Hi, I have a requirement File A : I have 6 records out of which 4 are same. File B: I have 8 records out of 6 records are same. The 4 records in FILEA and 6 records in FILE B are same. If we substract we will get two records, I need these two records in output file This is because to remove the duplicates from the database. Through easytrieve we can compare but for that there should not duplicates, but in my file I have duplicates. Thanks in advance!!
