| Yes, it makes it easier to identify what is running, and also for restarts. |

| In a job, there are 2 steps, both are named as step1 and step1. Then how will u restart the particular step. If u give Restart=step1, then will that consider first one or second one??? |

Hi expat,
I'm assuming by same stepname, Prabha meant something like this?
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
...
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=SORT
...
As I know, this wouldn't work if we have the same stepnames contained in a single or same JCL (although for a job, this may be possible since he/she could have multiple called procs.. )
Please let me know if I'm wrong. Thanks.  |

Helloi,
Systems with good standards will not permit any step name to be duplicated.
Yet another of the things that even when it can be done should not be done. |

RESTART=step1 will start execution from first one.

Hi Devzee,
Yes, you're right!
Thanks for the enlightenment. Never tried that one before ;) |

Hello,
Now that you know this can be done - go forth and do not do this.
[sarcasm] Or you might name every step in every job STEP1 and never be bothered with pesky restart considerations again. . . [/sarcasm] |
