I have a JCL with 10 steps, want to execute first 5 steps
only, what are ways of doing it?is it possible to control
through JOB card?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
You can create a NULL (//) point after the 5 step. so the
job will stop after step 5 is executed.
I don't think we can do it via JOB CARD. Please let me know
if anyone knows.

Answer / praveen kumar bejjanki
There are two ways in order to achieve this.
1. Give a null statement(//) after step5
2. Give the cond parameter starting from step6 through
step10 as cond=(0,le). This parameter will bypasses the
step6 through step10 as it satisfies the cond for any of
the RC(return code).
Is there any other way, kindly let me know.....
Thanks!

Give COND=(99,NE)for all the other steps following STEP5.
Its skips those steps.
Also, a Null (//) given after STEP5 does the same.

Answer / shivakrishna
we can bypass by giving cond parameters in step from 6 if
we know the cond codes from previous steps.

Answer / venkataramana
It is simple after fifth step we will use cond=(0,LE) in
each step for avoiding the execution.

Answer / veer
'to execute first 5 steps only', end of the 5th step
introduce NULL(//) character and run. first 5 steps will
run.
If you want to run step3, step5, step10 like that, use
IEBEDIT utility.
