 Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2010 7:29 am Post subject: Skip steps in proc on restart |
 |
|
I want to restart an ABENDed job. this JCL runs a proc which uses conditional execution as follows
//STEPA...
// IF (STEPA.RC = 0) THEN
//STEPB ...
//STEPC ...
//STEPD..
// ENDIF
I want to not only skip STEPA but also STEPB on the restart and execute C, D. Any way to do w/o editing the Proc radically?

why don't you try the RESTART parm of the JOBCARD - refer to JCL manual.

Thanks to reply.
OK- I add ,RESTART=STEPC at end of jobcard.
What I observe is that since STEPA not being executed, STEPA.RC doesn't have any value and so STEPC not executed- says
STEP WAS NOT RUN BECAUSE OF CONDITIONAL EXPRESSION |

Yep. Using IF/THEN/ELSE is a far distant animal from using COND=
Using these in a PROC requires a great deal of consideration for step restarts or selective step processing. Welcome to the world of badly designed and implemented applications

Another alternatives can be : If possible, make the PROC in-stream and remove the unwanted steps and execute. Or possibly use IEBEDIT.

That's also the flip side of legacy apps- having to support something written (in this case 12) years ago. Pays the bills, tho. |

Ah, ummm, wellll - 12 years old is a very young corporate application. . .

This escapes me 
I just did a quick check of the production jcl used on a few systems and there are no IF/THEN/ELSEs in the JCL - which was all originally implemented when everyone was expected to know JCL well so COND= was not an issue.
As was mentioned, I/T/E hinders many restart situations.
