i have 6 steps in my jcl program
after going to 5th step i want to execute 3rd step.....how can
i do it....by using(RESTART) can i do it or not?

Answer Posted / muttaiah

What i understand from question is
After executing 4th step you want to execute 3rd step.

In JCL.
We can execute steps only sequentially meaning steps mentioned in the job has to be executed in the way they are.

So as far as my knowledge this is impossible.

one way is if the job execution is stopped after 4th step. you can then execute from any step using restart.

I have a cobol db2 program(PGM A) where other program (PGM B) will call this program and passes some 50 fields data to PGM A. PGM A has some layout in which it receives the data from PGM B. And this layout has been copied in the linkage section pf PGM A. After getting the data, PGM A writes the data in a flat file in the same layout which it receives from PGM B. PGM B is a simple COBOL pgm. Please provide a JCL to run these programs.
