Is stepname is a MUST and should be unique also for each
JOBSTEP ? or system can supply the stepname for a step which
is not given a name by the programmer ?

Answer Posted / saisankar

multiple jobs but at the time of debugging point of view
application prog is very easy while giving different
stepnames.


jcl execution is line by line,once it executed it wont mind
the what is the previous job.
