Hi,

 We can use RESTART command to execute 100th step, & for others we can use COND.

to execute only a particular step in between we can use

RESTART = <stepname> e.g., RESTART = STEP100

and to bypass all other following steps we can use Null statement (//) after STEP100 and the Jop will be end at STEP100

If you want to execute step100, Use RESTART = STEP100

Want to execute upto 100, use "//" after 100th step, then steps 101 to 110 will not execute.

What you have said is exactly correct coding COND on 248 statements is really painful .... so wat u cud do is use restart for ur 2 step then after ur second step code a nullify in character that is code // after t end of ur second step so the remaining steps after your second step will never be executed. only the second step will execute any queries plz reply back regards AJAY

U may code the jobcard like this,//jobname JOB (accinfo),"jobname", RESTART=STEP100,COND=(0,LT,STEP100)Try it out. Let me know if u need complete code for this...

If u want to execute a any step inbetween some of the steps. U can use the combination of RESTART and COND parameter.Ex: My job has 100 steps, for some reasons i want to execute only 50th step, then i can code the job statement like this, //XXXXXX JOB (xxxx),"XXXXX",RESTART=STEP50,COND=(0,LT,STEP50)so u no need to alter the JCL steps i mean we can avoid coding // null statement after 50th statement

Use iebedit
ie
//idname job notify--------
//step1   exec pgm=iebedit
//sysprint dd sysout=*
//sysut1 dd dsn=myjob.name(mem),disp=shr         {ie   member where ur job is there}
//sysut2 dd sysout=(*,intrdr)
//sysin dd *
edit start=jobname,type=include,stepname=(100,110)

Only step no 100th and 110th will be executed  
Instead of include you can use exclude also.

For compare the datasets, You can use 3.3 ISPF option or
IEBCOMPR Utility. You can compare ps to ps, pds to pds and pds member to ps also.

For the above question :
We can put the remaining 248 steps in a IF condition as shown

//STEP2 EXEC .....
.
.
.
//IF STEP2 NOT RUN
//STEP3 EXEC....
...
...
...
//STEP250 EXEC....
//END-IF

One simple way to execute the 100th step only is to use the utility IEBEDIT.Syntax is as follows:
.......

Code
  1. //SYSIN DD *

  2.   EDIT START=<user id>,TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP=100)

  3. //

If u dont want 99 steps and want only step100 (and remaining if its not last step) to execute give in job card of JCL as RESTART.PROCNAME=STEP100. This will automatically skip 99 steps and start the PROC from 100th step

If the order of the step is STEP100,STEP99....then we will use the Cond=(0,EQ) in the job card......

But if the order is Step1,Step2.....Step100....then we will use the restart parameter as Restart=Step100.

You can use the below code to execute only the step100

Code
  1. //step1 exec pgm=IEBEDIT

  2. //sysut1 dd dsn=inputjcl(jcl1),disp=shr

  3. //sysut2 dd sysout=(*,intrdr)

  4. //sysin dd *

  5.   Edit type=include,stepname=(step100)

  6. /*




-Here Jcl1 is a member where the original job resides from step 1 to step 110,

-inputjcl is a PDS name where the jcl1 resides
After executing the above code, you can see only the execution of step100

Its verify simple dont make it too complicate.
//Jobname job class=a,msgclass=a,msglevel(1,1),RESTART = STEP100.

Here in the above jobcard we have given as restart - step100 which will directly execute only the step100.

There is two more options to execute only 100 step . 1) we can nellify the all first 99 steps (comment out) then only 100 step will execute. 2) Restart = step 100 in job card

we can use IEBEDIT UTILITY and the syntax is

You can do it in 2 ways
1)by using restart parameter
ex:in job card restart=step100
2)by using IEBEDIT
//SHRDV08A JOB NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=SHRDV08.SAI5.PS(INPUT FILE)
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=*,INTRDR
//SYSIN DD *
EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP100)
