Thread: Execute 3 step directly

If there are 5 step in a JCL program it is possible to execute 3 step without executing 1 &2 ? if yes then how?

Question asked by visitor subhash

Yes, while using the restart= keyword of the //JOB card

For sample

//MYJOB JOB (ACCN01,04XX-),'MY Description ',CLASS=C,MSGCLASS=T,
NOTIFY=&SYSUID,RESTART=STEP030

//STEP010 EXEC PGM=P10
....
//STEP020 EXEC PGM=P20
....
//STEP030 EXEC PGM=P30
....
//STEP040 EXEC etc...

we need to give 5steps. there is no other way
