Suppose a proc step has a DD statement like
//ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE1,DISP=SHR
DSN=TEST.FILE2,DISP=SHR
and the above DD name is overridden from the JCL as given
below
//procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE3 - Will the DD
statement now have just TEST.FILE3 or it will be TEST.FILE3
and TEST.FILE2?
Suppose if it is overridden twice like
//procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE3
//procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE4
Will this give a JCL error? If not, what will be final
output?

Q1:
If you CODE below ovverride in JCL
//PROCSTEPNAME.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE3
it will ignore File1 & file2.
To use all three files, please give below override in JCL
//PROCSTEPNAME.ABC DD
// DD
// DD DSN=TEST.FILE3
Q2:Giving two ovverrides for same DD, will it give JCL
error.
No, Job will end with RC=0 and use second override ingonred
first one.

Question 1:
TEST.FILE3 and TEST.FILE2
Note:
If you just want TEST.FILE3 you must nullify the TEST.FILE1
and TEST.FILE2 concatenation as in:
//procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE3.DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=NULLFILE
Question 2:
TEST.FILE3 and TEST.FILE2, the second override will be
ignored

My JCL has 4 steps that execute PROC’s P1, P2, P3 and P4 as shown below //P1 EXEC PROC=P1 //P2 EXEC PROC=P2 //P3 EXEC PROC=P3 //P4 EXEC PROC=P4 There are four steps S1, S2, S3 and S4 in each PROC’s (i.e. P1, P2, P3 and P4) I want to execute only step S2 of PROC P2 and no other steps or PROC’s. How do you achieve this?
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.
