Here is a neat little trick I learned from a guy at CA, using SET and
IF. I use this a lot now, and other than needing a dummy step if I am
testing the first step in a job, it works great. I have been able to
nest my IF statements sometimes 3 deep when I have complex processing
that I want to switch on or off.

//* Run the TEST1 process? Set to 1 if yes, 0 if no:
// SET RUNTEST1=0
//*
//FIRSTSTP EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 Dummy first step for IF tests
//*
//I@TEST1 IF &RUNTEST1=1 THEN "IF" cannot be used before 1st step
//TEST1PGM EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//*
//L@TEST1 ELSE
//TEST1OTH EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//*
//E@TEST1 ENDIF
