Hi,

Could anyone let me know how can we execute required steps alone in a JCL.

For e.x. If am having a job with 8 steps and i want to execute only the odd numbered steps i.e. i want to execute 1, 3, 5, 7. Could you please let me know how can we acheive this.

Regards
Sundar

Condition codes, as very well explained in the fine JCL manual

COND=

There is a link to the JCL manual above - it is the button marked "IBM MANUALS"

Also there is a search facility on the forum, because this topic has been asked to death already in the past.

Hi,
by the time the conditions are added to each step why not remove the steps not required to run ?

Hi,

Yeah, that's there; but You can narrowed down Your search by selecting appropriate Forum & if you know the author name by any chance that's great otherwise put respective Forum's moderator name.

It might take couple of tries but you might get luckier to get the desired results little fast.

Good Luck... icon_smile.gif

Hello Sundar,

Try a search for IEBEDIT.

Unfortunately, if you don't know a tool exists, it is most difficult to search for it. icon_confused.gif

If you try that search and do not find what you are looking for, post back here.
