d syntax for it. any one give me d answer pls.

Answer Posted / reddyp

Restart papameter is used to restat a step from the
abendining step.
assume that jcl has 5 steps.You have submitted the job.And
the job was abended at step4.so , u need to execute the
step from step4.here note that 3 steps are executed
successfully.Here u can code RESTART=step4 on the job card
and submit the jcl.Now the job will skip the first 3 steps
and starts executing from the step #4.
Hope this helps
