Answer / lalith
one job can execute max. of 255 steps only...
so we cant execute 300 steps in one job...
we can solve this using procs...
1). we can write some steps in one proc and remaining in
another procs call these two procs in one job then we can
execute 300 steps.
2). we can write 255 steps in one proc and remaining steps
in job....

Answer / manikandan.d
by using procedure we can execute 300 step since each proc
contain max of 255 steps...
one way :
so here we may use 2 proc to execute 300 steps...
another way:
we may use one proc(255 steps) and remaining steps(45 steps)
just include in a same job after that proc

If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???
