Condition codes

Hi,

My job has ten steps. I want to execute the 5th step alone. I tried giving RESTART= STEP5 but starting from 5th all conesquent steps are running.

How can I run the 5th step alone by using condition codes?

Please help me.

Personally, I'd save myself a lot of headaches and just use IEBEDIT.

If your proc steps are, for example, STEP1 thru STEP10, and you only want to execute STEP5, then, as you stated, do a RESTART=STEP5, and, in addition, supply override statements to suppress execution of the remaining steps - for example
//PROCSTEP EXEC PROC=MYPROC,
// COND.STEP6=(32,GE),
// COND.STEP7=(32,GE),
// COND.STEP8=(32,GE),
// COND.STEP9=(32,GE),
// COND.STEP10=(32.,GE)

The above would suppress STEP6 thru STEP10 if the Return Code from ( restarted ) STEP5 was less than or equal to 32, or if STEP5 abended.

Rather than specifically COND= all of the subsequent steps, especially if there are many of them, why not code COND=(0,LE) on the jobcard.

Once STEP5 has completed and issues a return code, all of the following steps will be bypassed.
