If u give the same step name in one JCL it will issue a
warning.No error message will be thrown.

step name is not unique.we can take same stepname to
multiple jobs but at the time of debugging point of view
application prog is very easy while giving different
stepnames.
jcl execution is line by line,once it executed it wont mind
the what is the previous job.

JES will automatically execute it but o/p will be unpredictable.
and steps will be queued and o/p will be random in order

In JCL, two job steps with the same stepname will give an
error. You cannot have the jobstep with the same name in
the same JCL.
And also the stepname is must .Otherwise you will get an
error.
