Hi All,
plz tell me the solution for the following problem-

I have a proc which has 20 steps which is very useful and used by several programs. For my job I want to execute only first 4 steps of that proc but without changing jcl b'coz other pgms are using that proc.

Then tag the first line of the job with a tag such as .A, and tag the last line needed of the job with a tag such as .B, then submit everything between the tags "SUBMIT .A .B".

you can also use NULL '//' at the end of step4.This will execute steps from 1 to 4.

Hi

Normally ,we do call the PROCs from Job. as u mentioned ,Proc has 20 steps.when u call the proc ,certainly all the steps get executed.i believe we suppose to change the Proc accordingly!! or you have to cut and paste those 4 steps and execute !!!

User: RadhaKrisha mentioned that ,we can submit the range ( submit .a .b) but how cud this possible in Proc??? bcoz we cant execute the Proc alone, we have to call it from JOB? in JOB also we cant mentioned the same as we can only mention EXEC PROC??? hope you guys got my point !!! correct me if im wrong!!!

NULL operator also works fine in this case.
