How can we execute only one step in a job..

Answer / deb

as per Sravanthi's answer.. A null (/*) statement at the
end of this step can be given for running this step alone
but we have to give restart in job.

suresh,the second method that u have suggested its not
correct, coz if u have more than one step in the same job
then u have to code the same COND parameter for each step.
this will stop the execution of 2 step...

Suresh Sir: I agree with your answer but if Condition is True means that particular step(2) will be bypassed however job execution will go to the next step(3). I am just fresher, so please correct me if i am wrong.

Suppose a proc step has a DD statement like //ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE1,DISP=SHR DSN=TEST.FILE2,DISP=SHR and the above DD name is overridden from the JCL as given below //procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE3 - Will the DD statement now have just TEST.FILE3 or it will be TEST.FILE3 and TEST.FILE2? Suppose if it is overridden twice like //procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE3 //procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE4 Will this give a JCL error? If not, what will be final output?
