If the JCL is not submitted by TSO/ISPF where automatic
generation of a JOB card is normal, you simply add a card
to the deck that has only //. This signals to the JCL
conversion that the jobstream had ended.
e.g
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP3 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP4 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP5 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP6 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP7 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP8 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP9 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP10 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
// <- END of job signal to JCL conversion
//STEP11 EXEC PGM=.... From here down is ignored
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP12 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...
//STEP13 EXEC PGM=....
//.... DD DISP=...,DSN=...

The answer #5 by Challa Srinivas is wrong, if we give //STEP11 EXEC=PGM2,COND=(0,LE,STEP10) then it will only not run Step11 but will run all the step after it.

Answer / challa srinivas
Just code at step 11 as below.
//STEP11 EXEC=PGM2,COND=(0,LE,STEP10).
Please note that Step 10 should execute successfully at any cost else again the job will start executing from step 11 till end.

In jcl i have 255 steps. In 255 step i declared proc. In proc i have 20 steps this job is executable or not? why?
If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???
