Search the DFSORT forum, or manual, for how to skip records.

This has been discussed many times before.

Hello T.Maheswara Reddy and welcome to the forums,

To properly handle restarting the abended process, there is more to consider than merely skipping records.

As the original process ran, was it producing some report? The continuation needs to be syncronized with what was done in the abended run. What about counters/accumulators - they too need to be dealt with.

Does the process write some output file(s)? Yup, those too need to be handled so that when the "re-start" is run, the output files have everything that would be in the file(s) had there been no abend.

Restart is not simply a matter of some jcl and skipping some records. . .
