Answer / madhuri tungal
when the job abended in step 2 then while restarting the
job from step2 the GDG has to be referred using (0) i.e
current generation insted of (+1) as in earlier case before
abend.
Please correct me if in case i am wrong....
Thanks,
Madhuri.

In my opinion it depends of the abend.
Why was the cause of STEP2 abend? If it was because a bad
file created on STEP1 we should correct the program that
generates the file (on STEP1), uncatlg the bad GDG created,
and then resubmit the job from STEP1.
If the STEP2 cancelled and the input file is good, we should
fix the STEP2 and restart the job from STEP2 using GDG(0).

Answer / guest
It Depends on what type of restart it is, if no checkpoint
or UC1RMS is present, as Madhuri has suggested, we need to
make the GDG version as 0 and procedd, in case checkpoint
or UC1RMS is present, then we directly restart from the
abended step.

Pls code GDG(0) and the data set at step 2 is created, you need to take care of this as well (may or may not created).
I am assuming created, then delete is first:
Couple of options are:
1. Manual Delete and JCL will create it again as //STEP2 ......... DD DSN=.....DISP=(new,catlg,catlg{if delete was coded hear you may ignore my steps})
2. Use IEBGBER at step0 to delete previously created d/st by DISP=(MOD,delete,delete).
Pls check, if my response is not clear let me know.

1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.

The disp in the JCL is MOD and the program opens the file in OUTPUT mode. What happens ? The disp in the JCL is SHR and the pgm opens the file in EXTEND mode. What happens ?
