RESTART is a JOB statement keyword. It is used to restart
the job at a specified step rather than at the beginning.

Answer / devang
The restart parameter is usually referred as RD(restart
definition) in JCL.
I can be coded on any job steps with conditions like
RD=RNC(restart with no check point)
RD=R(restart)
RD=NC (no checkpoint)etc
Stratigically placing of RD parameters is a task which
requires extensive analysis of the JCL flow.

Answer / brian
Also if you are restarting from a particular step that
executes a module that processes a high volume of data you
will have to work out key values for picking up where you
left off say for sequential files. It gets even more
complicated with relational datbase processing like DB2 and
COMMIT points.

I have a JCL with 100 steps. I want run the Alternate steps in the JCL ( Like 2 ,4,6,8 etc.. ). How can I acheive this scenario? If It is by Cond Parameter can you provide the Condition code for that?
