Hi all,

I have 10 Steps.... I need to execute 6th, 8th and 10th steps only. Without using Restart Parameter and null statements? How can I do the same using COND parameter? Any one please let me know the solution.

I have 100 Steps... I need to execute 2nd and 4th step and the I need to execute 52nd 67th step (Without using null statements). How can I do the same?

Awaiting your reply.

A simple thing I can think of is to place all the steps to be skipped in an IF block.
something like this...

Thank you Parikshit . .
i too thought the same . .
and here is a better solution i think

solution . . .

This can be done by using the predefined utilities
IEBEDIT & INTRDR
this is the JCL

// JOB . . .
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=A.PDS(M1),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=STEP20-STEP30
/*

WE CAN ALSO EXECUTE ONLY REQUIRED STEPS

//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=STEP3,STEP50,STEP20
/*

IN THE EDIT TYPE WE CAN USE "EXCLUDE" ALSO FOR EXCLUDING THE REQUIRED STEPS FROM EXECUTION

//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=EXCLUDE,STEPNAME=STEP100,STEP20 (OR) STEP20-STEP30
/*

use a ibm supplied utility program named iebedit , in iebedit use specify the steps name which can only be executed or omitted
