A job, say ABC, is calling a proc XYZ. Assuming that XYZ has 255 jobsteps starting from STEP001 to STEP255. The requirement is to restart it from STEP100 which will run till STEP150.

Restart from STEP100 is possible. But making it to run till STEP150 only is not possible without changing the job or proc. |

Thanks for providing one more way to run the job till STEP150 only. In this method no need to edit job/proc. |

| This way(by overriding it) i think we can put a null line also after STEP150?? However this will also be a trick. Is there any other proper way like using some commond or keyword?? |

Again you are editing the proc. |

If you do not want to change the proc you cannot over-ride the program name in a proc unless it is a symbolic. That is a good reason to make all programs in procs symbolic. If it is a symbolic you could over-ride it to something that does not exist. Another way is to over-ride adding or changing a DD to a DSN that does not exist with a disp like shr.
Either of these ways would get a JCL error and not execute the following steps.
If you are changing the proc delete or comment out the steps you do not want to execute. |

Well caught, after double checking your statement (just to prove you wrong) I find that it is indeed me who is wrong.....  |
