How to skip first step of a job? Can we use COND on the
first step?

Answer Posted / amrita

We can use RESTART in the Job card. For example if in the
Job, proc has been called from Step name STEP01 and the we
want to skip first step from proc viz PROCSTEP01 i.e. we
want our Job to start from Proc step 2 viz PROCSTEP02, use
following syntax in the Jobcard -
RESTART=(STEP01.PROCSTEP02).
