How to execute only th 15th step of JCL consisting of 50 steps?

Answer Posted / paray2x

One option is to use RESTART=STEP15 and insert a null JCL
before it.

Otherwise, determine what condition code STEP15 will
return. If it will return 0, then code RESTART=STEP15 and
COND=(0,EQ) on the job card itself.

The COND will apply to all steps. Since STEP15 has no
previous step when restarting, COND will be ignored for
this step. Then, other steps will flush because of the COND
parameter.

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.
