I think you mean to say that you need the PROGRAM code for looping the execution of a step. A job step in JCL can only execute once.

Hi Shanu,

Not the exact the solution, but we can do like this by two jcls

follow the steps

1) write a jcl which will run a cobol program which in turn will write
another jcl.

2) In the cobol program have a file which has the job card and joblib
card ,now using the perform loop in the cobol program write the
exec card steps in to a separate file(writing the same exec card
into the same file by looping,you can also say the the no of times to
loop the steps thru parm ).
3) Now concatenate the two files.

4) submit the the concatenated file thru INTRDR.

Try like this and please let me know if you find any other solution.

Please be clear about the qn

suppose I have a job with one step(or more) say STEP01. now I want to run this step 10 times.

Is there any JCL code for that?
