Ok, so how about the obvious response…… Since you are going to edit the JCL to add // or something, why not just comment out or delete the remaining JCL?

At least, it looks not-bad at first blush, though before I implement it I guess I'll wait to see what other comments surface here.

For example, if you had 10 steps and you want only first 6 steps to run then simply add //SAVE DD DATA,DLM=## after step 5 and everything else below it will be ignored . It also will give the flexibility of skipping some steps in between and run later steps too. //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=PGM0 //STEP0500 EXEC PGM=PGM4 //STEP0600 EXEC PGM=PGM5 //STEP0700 EXEC PGM=PGM6 //STEP0800 EXEC PGM=PGM7 //STEP0900 EXEC PGM=PGM8 So, from the above example. You code it as follows. //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=PGM0 //STEP0500 EXEC PGM=PGM4 //SAVE DD DATA,DLM=## //STEP0600 EXEC PGM=PGM5 //STEP0700 EXEC PGM=PGM6 //STEP0800 EXEC PGM=PGM7 //STEP0900 EXEC PGM=PGM8 For example, if you want to run steps 1 thru 5 and 8 thru 10 you code something like this //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=PGM0 //STEP0500 EXEC PGM=PGM4 //SAVE DD DATA,DLM=## //STEP0600 EXEC PGM=PGM5 //STEP0700 EXEC PGM=PGM6 ## //STEP0800 EXEC PGM=PGM7 //STEP0900 EXEC PGM=PGM8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
