In my job i have 10 steps. I dont want to execute the first 8 steps. Only 9th & 10th steps have to be executed. How can i code cond parameter for that job. Is there any other alternative for this problem other than cond.

Thanks

The best way is to use Step Restart in the JOB card.

RESTART can be coded in following manner.

Just code restart=stepname in the job step.

In your case give the stepname as step9.

Hi Prashant,

Be careful when you use restart. If the step is in a proc you must use the procstep name too.

That's why it's always best to check the manual. It contains that kind of detail.

If its an Override u can use the below statements which will flush 8steps and continue with 9th and 10th steps,

//Procname EXEC procname,
// COND.STEPNAME1=(0,LE),
// COND.STEPNAME2=(0,LE),
// COND.STEPNAME3=(0,LE),
// COND.STEPNAME4=(0,LE),
// COND.STEPNAME5=(0,LE),
// COND.STEPNAME6=(0,LE),
// COND.STEPNAME7=(0,LE),
// COND.STEPNAME8=(0,LE)

Hope the above may help u
