//jobname positional parms,keyword parms,.... Restart=step3
//..
//..
//..
//step3 exec=xxxx
//...
//step4 exec=yyyy,cond=(0,Le,step3)
//..
//step5 exec=zzzz

Restart =step 3 executes step3.Step 3 gives some return
code.In step 4,the test is passed as 0 is less than step
3.So step 4 is bypassed and is not executed. and the
program is responsible for issuing the return code that
was not even loaded in the main storage.
The result: no return code can exist
In the steps that follow any test of COND parameter tat
attempts to interrogate this non-existent return
code will be ignored . Step 5 will be e executed.

Answer / syntel

Sorry,my previous solution was wrong.Infact it is correct
if you don't want to skip step 4th step

The correct solution for this is
to use COND paramater.

Answer / pradeep

The below given code provides the exact solution,

//STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=XXX.GENERAL.STUDY(TEST001),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=EXCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP003,STEP005)

Answer / rudolf

This jcl is the correct answer, this is used to run a batch
job in production environment.
*** if the JCL will run step3 and step5 condcode is 0
while step4 condcode is flush means it will not run.

//jobname jobcardxx
// xxxxx
// xxxxx
// xxxxx
//..
//..
//step3 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(4,lt)
//....
//....
//step4 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(0,le)
//....
//....
//step5 exec pgm=xxx,cond=(4,lt)
//....
//....

Answer / sivakumar sekharannair

1)Give restart=step03 in job card
2)in step04 give cond=(0,le)
3)step05 no condition neeeded

sample jcl is given below



//AAUT001D JOB ,'TEST',MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=C,MSGCLASS=H,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID,RESTART=STEP003

//STEP001 EXEC PGM=AUT0EMP
//EMPLOY1 DD DSN=PROGMR.SBPD.EMP.DATA.SAMPLE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

//STEP002 EXEC
PGM=AUT0EMP
//EMPLOY1 DD
DSN=PROGMR.SBPD.EMP.DATA.SAMPLE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD
SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD
SYSOUT=*

//STEP003 EXEC PGM=AUT0EMP
//EMPLOY1 DD DSN=PROGMR.SBPD.EMP.DATA.SAMPLE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

//STEP004 EXEC PGM=AUT0EMP,COND=
(0,LE)
//EMPLOY1 DD
DSN=PROGMR.SBPD.EMP.DATA.SAMPLE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD
SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD
SYSOUT=*

//STEP005 EXEC PGM=AUT0EMP
//EMPLOY1 DD DSN=PROGMR.SBPD.EMP.DATA.SAMPLE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

Answer / rajesh

We use the COND Parameter for By pass the 5th step &
RESTART=Step Name in the job Card.
// Jobname Job Acc.info,Programmer
name,..............,Restart=Step3
//Step4 EXEC PGM=Program Name,COND=(0,LE,Step3)
//Step5 EXEC PGM=Program Name
//

Answer / name

It depends on the situation. I recommend against using
IEBEDIT to alter the JCL. Use of IF ... THEN is more
perspicuous than use of the COND parm.

What is the function of dd disp parameter?

0 Answers  

Please go thru the below points and let me know how to code this. 1. Sort the input dataset for the condition : Starting position is 37,length of the field is 13 based on character and in the ascending order , starting from position 25 length of 12 ,character and in the ascending order. Use a temporary dataset to hold the sorted file. 2. Use the temporary file created in the above step as the input for the next step. The next step is to execute a program and produce an output file. Use the temporary file created in the above as work file 1 and the output of the file to be created in this step work file 2.Also, pass a parameter to the program that is to be executed in this step. The parameter should have the current date in YYYYMMDD format. For the sake of convenience, you can use the below Job Name : Sample1 Input DSN : PCABDT11.CABD.TEST.INPUT Temporary DSN : Sort1 Output DSN : PCABDT11.CABD.TEST.OUTPUT Program Name : SAMPLE Thanks in Advance for your response.
