I want to execute third step only, without changing jcl.
Is there any command while submitting job.
don't use IEBEDIT and Restart function. |

Third step of what, a job stream or a procedure ?
- How are we supposed to know this without you telling us ?
Why not use IEBEDIT, that is exactly why it is there ?
Have you considered conditional execution of all steps ? |

the issue has been debated to death, and has become quite boring...
look at the faq for topics not eligible for discussion |

It's somewhat of a trick ques. Restart at the step you want and code (or change) the Job card COND stmt to read COND=(0,LE)
The Job card COND o'rides all step CONDs.
COND isn't checked for the 1st step execed, so ithe restart step execs.
No matter what COND the restarted step passes after it execs, the Job COND tests for the following steps won't pass. |

Hi Jack,
Yup, that's what a bunch of us would do. . .
Unfortunately, this is one of those "restricted" requests - can't use RESTART or IEBEDIT. . .
Wish i could get paid to make up that kind of "requirement". . . With my flair for nonsense. . . Such a shame that there is so much of it going around. |

Hi Jack,
I'm with you, I don't remember seeing that as well and I don't like this getting old(er) bit. 
Expat mentioned the use of IEBEDIT which I'm sure he would not have suggested if the non use of it had been mentioned.
I sometimes don't really understand all these restrictions, I don't know how you can submit the same JCL and expect it to start from step3 without amending anything.

How do I exec only step 10 in job 13 in a 24 job stream to trigger job 14 but I can't view the JCL so I can't know the name of the step? I can only tell a blind monkey which keys to press and he has a 5% error rate on keystrokes.
Can you please help me? |

Hello,

As a (very) young lady said to me one evening, "Don't you mind getting so much older?". My reply was, "Dear, dear Amy, it beats the alternative".

I believe that was an Expat rebuttal. . .

Possibly, we have received a positive response from most of the Jumble Queueing and Alternative System Scheduling (JQASS) committee that we should have a recommendation by the end of the month. Now to decide which month. Someone did suggest it would be more quickly implemented if the number of jobs was some power of 2 rather than 24. |

IEBEDIT should do the trick  |

Or ICEEDIT, the new (not yet announced) component of DFSORT/ICETOOL. This new utility automagically supports/allows many of this type of requirement.
Wiith no changes to (or overrides of) existing JCL, control statements, or scheduling definitions, steps may be run in any order, run multiple times in the same job, skipped, or once runnng made to wait on the completion/occurrence of event. All of this is done under voice control rather than keyboard/mouse.

I am still convinced that 99.99% of the tasks debated around her can be carried on by
the IEHPROPHET utility ( V1 for flat file management )
let' s wait for the announced V2 for universal data base management features
no jcl, no control cards, think about a task and IEHPROPHET will accomplish it |
