Answer / nimsatprasad

Ex:

Step 4 output: XX17.PRASAD.OUT(+4) This step can be
referred as in Step6.

Step 5 output: XX17.PRASAD.OUT(+5) This step can be
referred as in Step7.

If the Job bends in 6the step so already 5th step has been
processed successfully. So we can restart from the step6
then we can refer the 5th step output to 7th step input as
current version.

After abend:

Step 5 output: XX17.PRASAD.OUT(+5) This step can be
referred as XX17.PRASAD.OUT(0) in Step7 after abends the
job.

**** Please let me know if it is wrong.
