Hi,

I have a job with 3 steps when submitted failed in 2nd step.

Now I want to run the job from 3rd step(only 3rd step) without restart parameter in jobcard.And the proc is not editable ,only we can give overrides from the jobcard.

Please let me know how I can restart the job only with 3rd step.

Thanks,
Krishna.

Just out of curiosity, if you cannot edit the JCL and you cannot use a restart parameter, exactly how do you think you can start the job on the third step?

The only thing I can think of is to pass the JCL through the IEBEDIT utility.

Why the silly requirement for no restart parameter ?

Is this a HOMEWORK question ?

If step3 is part of a PROC then IEBEDIT probably cannot be used.

Hi,

I agree with Bill, the input to IEBEDIT needs to contain a jobname.

Also if there are IF/THEN/ELSE statements IEBEDIT does not handle them too well.

Whilst the PROC is not editable, can it be copied out and then hacked ?

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion if I was not able to explain the requirement properly,but this was my requirement to do.

Atlast after several attempts I found a solution for this.

//JOBCARD
//*
//STEP01 EXEC PROC,COND.STEP01=ONLY,COND.STEP02=ONLY
//*

I was able to execute only 3rd step where 1st and 2nd steps are flushd out after giving jobcard overrides by the way I mentioned.

Thanks for your time and other suggestions.

Thanks,
Krishna.

Yeah, it is a known solution to the request, but would you prefer to code one restart parameter on the jobcard, or to code all of that for restarting at STEP99 of a proc with 100 steps ?

I would still like to understand the reasoning behind not using the restart parameter.

AND ......................... WELL DONE for searching out your own solution

Hi Krishna,

Well the issue is closed still would like to add some thing. Normally we used to face the same issue in production. and we will not be able to edit jcl or proc.

Following solutions we used to give in such situations in production live scenario:
1) open jcl in view mode & give restart step.
2) can copy it to your personal pds and edit it then go for submission
3) in case of proc also you can take in in private proclib then after editing it temporary in view mode change your proclib concatenation in jcl

Above are all the possible ways to do such things.

Thanks

Hello,

Please post something that shows how this meets the original request.

What is your definition of "exec level"?

A more detailed post would probably help. . .

Even if it's doable, you would need to edit the PROC/JCL where the origianl post says

And the proc is not editable
