JCL cannot loop -- you can copy step4 9 times in your job, or you can put step4 into a PROC and execute it 10 times.

kanna,

Experiment with instream PROCs to get familiar with the concept of JCL procedures. Look at PROC and PEND statements in the JCL Reference manual.

perform means performance, not the number of times a step is executed

Let's take your side that it would do what is being asked, but what if pgm=XXXX does not know about "perform"? icon_neutral.gif. "XXXX" must stand for any program, right?

Hello and welcome to the forum,

When offering a suggestion/solution, it would be best to also post the output from a successful execution of the "code".
