I am going to post this question in the TSO/ISPF but since it also involves SAS I will understand if a moderator tells me to move it but I think my question relates to other applications.
My job starts with the JCL statements and then after the //SYSIN DD * statement I have about two thousand lines of SAS code. When the researchers look at the output from the first 1000 lines of code they may not have interest in looking at any output or listings generated by the last 1000 lines of code. I don't want to delete this code because the researchers may decide to change the criteria of whom to include in the analysis or the analytic data sets may get updated at some point.
My question is whether there is a TSO command that allows you to tell the processor to only consider the first X lines of code and ignore the rest. In looking at the TSO documentation I had noticed the END operand for the SUBMIT command and I wanted to know if this was appropriate to my problem. I know that I can wrap the code I don't want processed in a SAS macro (this may be the most efficient way?) but wanted to explore options using TSO/ISPF.

VIEW the job to be submitted and add a label (let's say .LAST) to the last line to be submitted, then do
or just add
after the last line to be submitted |

Prino,
So you can do that! Intuitively I had thought that would be the natural approach for the TSO developers to come up with but I could not find any reference to it in any of the TSO documentation I looked at. If it is not a struggle for you maybe you could point me to a reference. Thanks for your quick reply.

From the ISPF Tutorial:
| Code: |
TUTORIAL ------------------ EDIT - 'SUBMIT' COMMAND ------------------ TUTORIAL
COMMAND ===>
The SUBMIT command (may be abbreviated SUB ) is used to submit a job
stream.
Command ===> submit submits the data being edited.
The SUBMIT command is used to submit one or more jobs. The data that is
being edited is stored in a temporary data set, and the TSO SUBMIT
command is invoked. The same requirements that exist when using the TSO
SUBMIT command directly apply to the edit SUBMIT command.
An optional "range" operand is supported. You can specify the labels of
the first and last lines of the data to be submitted as a job stream.
The first line of the data stream that is submitted is logged in the
ISPF log file to identify the job being submitted.
Note: Data with a logical record length (LRECL) greater than 80 is
truncated to 80 bytes before being passed to the TSO SUBMIT command.
Data with a logical record length less than 80 is padded with blanks
before being passed to the TSO SUBMIT command. |

Prino,
Yep, there it is and it could not be any clearer. This forum is like (to quote George Bush) a thousand points of light and without it I would have been stumbling around for a few days. Thanks again.
