How to run only 2 steps out of 100 steps???

[syedwasim]

Hi ,
Out of 100 steps if you want to run only 3 and 4 step ?? the best solution is
use of COND paramater in step.

//step3 exec pgm = xyz , Cond = (0,LE,Step2)
---
---
//step4 exec pgm = abc , Cond = (0,lE,STEP2)

Note : Cond parameter ;;if the condition is true it will bypass the step.and if the condition is false it will execute.Above steps compare with prior steps (0,le,step2) is false condition and will execute Step 3 and step4

How about rest of the steps, there are 100 of them in the job, per this thread?

Why does someone believe this might be "best"?

Just out of ignorance, Dick!

Hi syedwasim,

If it is one time requirement and have access to change the jcl/proc.

we can use "restart" command in job card to restart from Step3 and can use empty line before 5th step starting to flush the remaining Steps.

Hi All,

Can some one provide me details about these albels (.a abd .b mentioned in this thread) and syntax to run those labels only..

Please correct me , if any misusage of technical terms..

[Anuj Dhawan]

Suggest you start a new thread, there is a bit of mess in this thread.

Labels are nothing fency, thread talks about the ISPF line labels.

will it check 0 <= step2.RC or step2.RC <= 0 ?
i believe it check 0 <= step2.RC which means it always true so this ste3 never excutes.

Just use labels...

.A and .B before the two steps you need to run and sub .a .b and only those two steps will run..

so no modifications required..

Good answer

[NicC]

Actually .a and .b will fail unless there is a jobcard at .a

[Anuj Dhawan]

That's correct and Dick has mentioned it already. But this thread keeps on coming back since 2010... .

put cond parameter on step-4 & step-5 as cond=even and after that put null indicator after step-5 like "//" in beginning it self. then job executes smoothly.........

[siddubasha]

actually what he asking is he need to execute only step-3 & 4 then if we coded as your way then what about step-1 & step-2 . I think those both steps are also executed right ......
