You can IEBEDIT utility for your requirement. The syntax as
follows.

Syntax:
//JOBCARD
//PS010 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=path of your JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(PS008,PS004)
/*

Answer / manish_cics

through DPRTY w'll excute step 8 before step 4 ,if u
provide step 8 higher prty compared to the step 4,then it
is possible to execute step 8 first.

Guys if I am wrong plz correct me

Answer / pradip

I propose a syntax below to meet the requirement,
excute first STEP008 then excute STEP004
//JOBCARD
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=path of your JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP008)
/*
//*
//STEP002 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=path of your JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP004)
/*

Answer / pradeep

Hi RaviKumar,

Your above solution is not working. It just executes both
the steps in the sequence with which it is defined in the
JCL.

I propose a syntax below to meet the requirement,

//JOBCARD
//PS010 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=path of your JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(PS008)
/*
//PS020 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=path of your JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(PS004)
/*

Here I have given a separate IEBEDIT to execute the same
JCL but different step exec seqeunce. As simple as that.
I would really wish if there is a much better solution to
the one that I have given here. :)

1-1
2-2
3-3
4-8
5-5
6-6
7-7
8-4

Answer / muttaiah

@ Loga: If we use your option then we have to restart the
same job Twice to achieve this.

@ Pradip: Generally we won't be having that much time to
write a JCl with 2 steps and check the execution

If anyone can provide a simple solution that would be
better.

Sorry if you guys feel hurt but it's true!!!

Answer / loga

code restart parameter in jobcard as below.
JOBNAME JOB ,,MSGCLASS=***,NOTIFY=***,
RESTART=STEP8,COND(0,LE)
- only step 8 will execute

then change the jobcard with RESTART=STEP4,COND(0,LE)
- only step 4 wil be executed.

THERE IS ONE STEP AS BELOW: //STEPJS060 EXEC PGM=XYX, COND=((200,EQ,JS010),(0,NE,JS020.C),EVEN) COULD ANY ONE EXPLAIN HOW COND PARAMETER WORKS HERE? I AM CONFUSED BECOZ OF "EVEN".

we define the array like this 01 array 02 veg occurs 10 times 03 days occurs 6 times 04 cost pic 9(5). but why don't we write it as 01 array 02 veg occurs 10 times 03 days occurs 6 time 04 cost pic 9(5). is there any error will occur ,what is it? and why don't 01,02,03 not contain picture clause? if we put pic in those is there any error will occur what is it will occur?
