How to skip the first step in a Job

How to skip the first step in a Job Is it possible to bypass the first step in a JCL? I have come across this scenario when last night one of the production job abended in second step, the first step has successfully got executed. As per the restart instruction, I was supposed to skip the first step. I deleted the fist step by copying the job in an override library and ran the job, but is there any cleaner approach of addressing this. “; ; ; ;
