In your JCL - if these are the only steps you want to run, please try deleting the steps you do not need (Steps 1,2,4,5,7,8,10) and submit it.

You can restart your Job from STEP3 by RESTART parameter & can give COND parameter at the steps u don't want to execute.

& If you don't want to code COND Parameter, U'll have to go for IEBEDIT..

Check Links for that.

hi Priyesh,

thanks for ur reply, it would be great if u just tell me what is the exact condition code to be given for the steps that should not be executed

COND=ONLY works well.

I don't understand this request.
It is a necessity for once or it's repetitive?
If it run only today I assume that you can submit your jcl deleting unnecessary steps, otherwise, in my opinion, you must think to the reason of this special condition and make provision about the really and main benefit that you are currently looking for.

Sounds like a classroom/homework question and shows up on every mainframe/mvs board site each week.

I believe a search will provide the answer.

Its not a big thing Coolguyin.

In ur Job include a step before ur step1.

//Step0 EXEC PGM=CONDTN,PARM=0000

Then in all steps use a COND=(0000,EQ).

Just before submitting the job change the COND value 0 to say 1000 for the steps u want to execute and submit.

I think u r clear now.
