Regarding restart of a step

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to execute only a particular jobstep in a JCl.
Restart from a step executes all the steps starting from the mentioned step.

You can use COND parameter accordingly...

Hi Srinivas,
You can also do it by giving a restart from the step you want to begin your
execution and just after that step put a null statement.
This would avoid coding the condition parameters for all the remaining steps that you do not want to execute.
Hope this would work.

thanks

Hi Srinivas

open your job in view mode put the restart step for the step which you want to execute and put a null immedeately after that step. this will serve your purpose and will not disturb your Jcl as you are in view mode.

Thanks,

Hi Shrinivas,
U can use the "Restart=jobname.stepname" parameter in your job statement.

In case if your jobname is job1 and stepname is step1; it shud appear like "Restart=job1.step1"

===========================
//user1 JOB 'runjob', class=a, msgclass=a
// time=300, restart=job1.step1
===========================

With this you can restart the job at any step you like. The job will start executing from the mentioned step and down the line.

It is always a good habit to code the Restart parameter in your job.

Hope this solves your query, get back if you still have doubts.

Regards,
