Hi There,

You can use IEBEDIT for this.

Hi Gupate ,
if i want to run the job directly form the 3rd step in the jcl out of 5 steps can i use IEBEDIT with the
sysin dd *
edit type=include,step3

Hi There,

In that case it would not execute STEP3 only

Hi There,

That i already specified

You can use IEBEDIT for this.

Code:
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=dsn name that contain jcl,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP3,STEP4,STEP5)

hello,

U can code the COND parameter in the first two steps to avoid it from running.

U can type COND=ONLY in the first two steps.. Then those steps won't run

Can I ask why you would not want to use the restart parameter ?

Hello,

Is this to use in a "real" business situation or is it a training/interview question?

This same question seems to come up very often.

I have a hard time believing that there are so many sites that need jobs restarted without using the RESTART provided just for that purpose
