Scenario:
I have 3 Input Files.Read the first i/p file and depending
on certain business logic, I want to read wither i/p file-2
or i/p file-3.Now, depending on certain business logic
applied to the record read from either file-2 or file-3, I
decide to write them to either output file-2 or output file-2.
Question:
How many job steps are necessary to implement a solution for
the above.

Answer Posted / keshireddy

I guess Q is not clear..
If you want the task to complete with Cobol module within
one JCL step it can be done.
If task has to complete with JCL then you need to tell the
business logic. If anything like filtering.. then with 3
steps it can be done.
