Hi Thanooz,

Thanks for replying... in Jobcard if we give restart=step50 means, it will execute the steps from 50 onwards. but my requirement is i want to execute only the 50 th step.

Thanks

Hi kalai,

The restart logic is right but on y dont u use the condition statement in the 51st step. COND(0,EQ) like that...

Let me know if any other exit exists...

hi kalaignar_S,

give the RESTART condition on job statement and NULL statement after the 50th step. This will execute only the 50th step. example

//JOBNAME JOB .................... RESTERT=STEP50
//...........
...
...
//STEP50 EXEC PGM=...
//...
//SYSIN DD *
..
..
//

Hi bhgh,

The restart statement in the JOB card will start the job from 50th step and the // (Null statement) after the 50th step, will terminate the job after executing the 50th step. Thus only the 50th step will be executed leaving all other 99 step.

Let me restate the problem:

How do you execute only step050 in a 100 step job, by ONLY changing the Job Card.

Solution:

Change //job100 job .....
To //job100 job ....,cond=(0,le),restart=step050

That'll do it.
