There is a better way of doing it as given below:

//STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=XXX.GENERAL.STUDY(TEST001),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP0017)
/*

Here, I have used the utility, IEBEDIT to execute only the
required step. You can also, given the syntax,

EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP0017,STEP0021,STEP0099) to
execute the reqd steps only.

Similarly, we can use TYPE=EXCLUDE to exclude the steps
from exec.
