Hi Friends

Can anyone suggest Is there is any other way to restart the job other then RESTART Statement in JCL Rolling Eyes

I want restart from step3 without executing the step2 or assume step1& step2 exectuted success or failed. I want to restart from step3 directly

Is it possible ,please sugget

for Example
job1 job (sathis,xx),MSGCLASS = A
Step1 EXEC PGM =P1
Step2 EXEC PGM =P2
Step3 EXEC PGM =P3
Step4 EXEC PGM =P4
Step5 EXEC PGM =P5

Thanks in advance
Nithisha

Use IEBEDIT?

Without editing the JCL or introducing a restart control facility you cannot. A job will start at the first step or the RESTART= step.

If editing the JCL is allowed, add IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF statements to the 1st 2 steps to bypass processing those and begin at STEP3. Or simply temporarily delete the 1st 2 steps.
