There is no LAST command in JCL.

But in IMS, we have a parameter LAST=YES/NO in SYSN and KEYWD Assembly Macros to specify the last macro in the module.

There is a 'Last' Parameter in JCL related to restart of an IMS program.

If you want to restart an IMS program from last abended checkpoint then there are 2 ways to do that:

1) Pass actual checkpoint id in 7th parameter (parameter reserved for checkpoint id) of Region control program(DFSRRC00).

Note: Last checkpoint id can be found in abended JCL Log.

OR

2) Pass 'LAST' to it, if you pass 'LAST' then program will restart from the last abended checkpoint.

Can somebody throw some light on the "DFSRRC00" Program and the various parameters and the libraries required to run it...

I have searched a lot but couldn't find any solution.

Thanks in anticipation.
