Hi all,

suppose i have 10 steps in my jcl STEP1, STEP2........STEP10 now i want to execute only STEP1, STEP5, STEP8, STEP9, STEP10. is there any chance to execute without COND parameter, we had IF cond but it makes the jcl some what complex

regards,
siva pradeep

Here is the JCL which would execute only the given steps in the EDIT
TYPE of the sysin card.

//JOBNAME JOB (2404),TEST,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=K,MSGCLASS=X,

// NOTIFY=&SYSUID

//STEP0001 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT

//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TEST.JCL(MEMBER)

//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSIN DD DATA

EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(S1,S5,S8,S9,S10)

Hi sarath,

Thanks for ur reply, but my doubt is is IEBEDIT utility is compulsory, or we have to write that EDIT TYPE parameter in our own JCL.
please send me reply urgent

here i am sending one example please let me know whether its correct r not

//job card
//step1
//..........
//......
//step2
//..........
//......
//step3
//..........
//......
.
.
.
.
.
.
//step8
//..........
//......
//step9
//..........
//......
//step10
//..........
//......
//sysin dd data
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(S1,S5,S8,S9,S10)
//
