Hi,

I have two Jobs in a PDS member. When Job is submitted, the two jobs will be executed. I want to execute the first job and stop the execution of the second job.

The JCL looks like,

//jobname1 job (,).....................
//.............................................
//step000.................................
//.............................................
// (null statement)
//jobname2 job (,).....................
//.............................................
//step001.................................
//.............................................

Please suggest, if there is any command to end the first job after the execution or stop the execution of the second job.

Thanks in advance,

Kingofbeasts,

Can you edit the PDS member containing the 2 jobs? Just code TYPRUN=HOLD on the second jobcard and this will job will be in queue until you release it. You will have a choice either to release it or cancel the job.

On second thoughts why don't you seperate the 2 jobs and make each job as one member?

Better yet, just put a // after the first job and before the second job.

kok328,

If you carefully look at the the JCL posted you will find that there is indeed a NULL statement seperating the 2 jobs. However the null statement will no have effect on the execuetion of the next job. The null statement can be used to stop in between steps but not between jobs.

kolusu,

I stand corrected....sorry, haven't been employed for a while now and am starting to forget and advise from fading memory. Perhaps it's time for me to hang up my keyboard. Crying or Very sad

Don't do that. Just don't shoot from the hip. Wink

Assign a label at the end of job1 (for example .B), then enter the command

Robert's method is cool, but I really wonder how IBM ever thought that people will ever need option like this.
