Hi !

I am having 5 job steps in my Jcl? I want to execute 3rd step only? How u will do this Using COND and Without COND parameter?

If anyone knows plz let me know?

Hi Rajni,

You can put restart=(procname.stepname) in jcl job card itself.
But that will start your job from that step. I don't know how to make the job run only that step.

Hi ,
for this purpose u can use IEBEDIT utility . See the sample code given below which will help u :

//JOBNAME JOB (2404),TEST,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=K,MSGCLASS=X,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP0001 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MYDSN.TEST.JCL(MEMBER)
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DATA
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(S3)
/*

Here MYDSN.TEST.JCL(MEMBER) is the jcl of which step 3 is to be executed
Let me know if u have any concern

Regards,
Umed

HI

to execute only step#3 you just give restart=step#3 it will start to execute step#3 and give null statement // at the end of step#3 then it will terminate the job their itself.

Correct me if i am wrong

Hi, Rajni,

I have found out two ways to handle the situation,

A Suppose there are 10 steps in the PROC and you want to execute only one step, say STEP05. In this case:

//JOBNAME1 JOB (ABC,0000),NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//PROCSTMT JCLLIB ORDER=ABC.XYZ
//PROCSTEP EXEC PROCNAME,
// COND.STEP01=(0,LE),
// COND.STEP02=(0,LE),
// COND.STEP03=(0,LE),
// COND.STEP04=(0,LE),
// COND.STEP06=(0,LE),
// COND.STEP07=(0,LE),
// COND.STEP08=(0,LE),
// COND.STEP09=(0,LE),
// COND.STEP10=(0,LE)

Because of the COND parameter, all the 9 steps will be skipped since this condition will alwayz be true.
In this case, you will not be modifing the PROC at all. Just the JCL.

B
Also we can use the IEBEDIT utility

//STEP0001 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=myJCL
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DATA
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(mystep1,mystep2,...,)

Also you can specify the RESTART parameter in the JOBCARD along with the COND parameter...

//.......RESTART=(PROC1.STEP5),COND=(0,LE)

in this case only STEP5 will be executed, steps before and after that will not be executed.

Hi Priyesh,

I aslo got the same error, later I made slight modification in the code at SYSIN DD DATA , Instream(SYSIN) data should start from col 2 onwards.

Now its working fine.
//JOBNAME JOB (2404),TEST,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=K,MSGCLASS=X,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID,COND=(0,LE) ==> also ADDED COND PARM
//STEP0001 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MYDSN.TEST.JCL(MEMBER)
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DATA
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(S3) ==> moved 2 col right,
/*

plesae check with the modification and write back to me if you have any concerns.

Cheers,

Gops

hi rajini

you can do like this

in job statment give Restart=stepname, then the job will start form that step, at the end of that step give sysabend and sysdump statement with a dummy dataset, then after the excuation of that step job will end. i think this will works, if not give me proper ans

IEBEDIT works good when we have only one JCL with all the steps inside to that but failed to execute when tried to submit a step which is inside to a PROC.

For example I was having 10 steps in PROC which was executed using a RUNJCL .Using IEBEDIT I tried to execute the step01 alone.

Both of the below JCL's failed to execute a step inside a PROC.

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.SSSS.AP.TSTS(MYRUNJCL)
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6
/SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=STEP01<==PROC STEP
/*

and

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXX.SSSS.AP.TSTS(MYRUNJCL)
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6
/SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=PROC.STEP01
/*

Any suggestions?
