Answer / amarnath reddy

Hi,

It is possible to execute selected steps. Use IEBEDIT
utility we can execute selected steps.

Ex: //xcon39ac dob (p54I9k),'amarnath',class=x,....
//JS05 exec pgm=IEBEDIT
//.
.
.
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,
STEPNAME=(STEP2,STEP4,STEP6,STEP8,STPE10)
/*
//

Answer / suputhru

MR Amarnath ReddY IS RIGHT.


Use IEBEDIT utility

NOTE: For not execution of steps use: EXCLUDE

Answer / raghavendra

Use Restart=step2 command in job card, then use COND=(0.LE) in steps 3,5,7,9 to skip (this cond parameter will the skip the steps only if previous steps ended with CC=0)

//Jobid job (t,aa,sys),'acct',class= , msgclass= ,region=0M,restart = step2
//*
//step1 exec
//step2 exec pgm=xxx
//step3 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(0,le)
//step4 exec
//step5 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(0,le)
//step6 exec
//step7 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(0,le)
//step8 exec
//step9 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(0,le)
//step10 exec

Does the job have instream JCL or a instream proc or are the job steps in a proc (in a proclib) with a execution JCL

explanation= use xx on the left side of the step or line in the command... and write (sub nx;) in the command...then it will execute only the excluded lines...thank you for reading... 

Answer / pavan

If we can edit the JCL then add a COND to the steps which you don't want to execute so that you can skip those.

Answer / sivaramakrishna

yes we can execute the above statements using cond
condition.

Answer / druks

It , depends on you having the JCL in a proc or are running it instream (simpler option) , you can delete the steps you do not require and run job'
Proc : in the EXEC JCL
Job statement put a RESTART Parm ,
in the EXEC JCL .
//stepa exec procname,cond=(1111,ne,stepxxx),cond=(1111,ne,stepxx1)
stepxxx ,stepxx1 step you want to exclude

Answer / naveen

yes its possible comment the 1,3,5,7,9 steps

Answer / mahesh

I think its not possible because , always first step need
to execute, then based on the CC of the first step,
we can specify COND whether to SKIP or Process a Step in
JCl.

Note : You cannot use Restart Parameter in the above
cases. it is used only when the Job is Abended.

A. Job Abended in STEP03. Now run job again to execute STEP03, STEP04 (STEP01,STEP02 should not execute again)

1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.

I have 20 steps in a job... step01, 02....step17...step20. For some reason I want to execute step17 only if the return code for all the previous steps are less than or equal to 4. otherwise if return code for any of the previous 16 steps is greater than 4, then step17 should be bypassed. How do I do that ?? how and in which step should i formulate COND parameter
