I have a JCL with 10 steps, want to execute first 5 steps
only, what are ways of doing it?is it possible to control
through JOB card?

Answer Posted / suresh ramaiyan

You can create a NULL (//) point after the 5 step. so the
job will stop after step 5 is executed.

I don't think we can do it via JOB CARD. Please let me know
if anyone knows.
