Erasani,

1.Use a RESTART parameter.
2.Delete steps 1 thru 7 and run the job
3.Copy steps 8 thru 10 and run it as a seperate job.

Hope this help...

Cheers

Hi,

You can use RESTART parameter as mentioned below.
RESTART=STEP08,COND=(0,LE) in your job card.

This will start the execution from STEP08.
