I had 100 steps in jcl i want to execute first 10 steps only?..

Answer / albert n

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=...

Answer / kamaldeep

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.
