Answer / muttaiah
There are 3 ways to achieve the above task.
1) Using restart & Cond:
Code restart=step15,cond=(0,le)
2) using restart & Null stmt
restart=step15, Code a null stmt(//) after step15.
3) Using Iebedit
//jobcard
//stepname exec pgm=iebedit
//sysut1 dd dsn=actual pds/ps that has the jcl
//sysut2 dd sysout=(*,intrdr)
//sysin dd *
edit type=include,stepname=step15
/*
Using option 1 & 2 will require the jcl to be copied to ur
personal pds and edit the jcl and pass it on to Operation
team to restart the job with the override pds
using option3 we can directly send this jcl to run without
editing the actual jcl
best way would be create a iebedit jcl in ur program
whenever the job needs to run for particular steps change
the iebedit jcl and send it to the team who will run the job
Hope this will give complete idea regarding restarting a
job.
Corrections are heartily welcomed.

Answer / paray2x
One option is to use RESTART=STEP15 and insert a null JCL
before it.
Otherwise, determine what condition code STEP15 will
return. If it will return 0, then code RESTART=STEP15 and
COND=(0,EQ) on the job card itself.
The COND will apply to all steps. Since STEP15 has no
previous step when restarting, COND will be ignored for
this step. Then, other steps will flush because of the COND
parameter.

Answer / nygrande
I go with Raj reply. Use iebedit utility.
The sintax is:
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE, STEPNAME=(STEP15)

Answer / muttaiah
Nishant,
Cond wil execute the step only when the cond is false. If
you see we have given Cond as cond=(0,le) so it will
satisfy what ever may be the return code of the step that's
why it will bypass all the steps.
Hope this answers.

Answer / sathish
What about using SUBS in the JCL comand line and selecting step15 alone to run
It will run only with selected job step
