Answer Posted / sukumar

The DUMMY statement will allow a Jcl program to run if a
data set does not exist.

Following example:
//JOB1 JOB NOTIFY=&SYSUT1
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//DD1 DD DSN=IASM12.CLASS.PS1,DISP=SHR
//DD2 DD DSN=ISAM12.CLASS.PS2,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//*Here statements tells about no input data.
