JCL to submit particular steps of another JCL using IEBEDIT

IEBEDIT Example- JCL to submit particular steps of another JCL

You may get a scenario where you wish to submit/execute only particular steps of a jcl and exclude

others. Although this can be handled by using COND parameter but this would require editing

the original JCL to include COND parameter at each step and may be tedious exercise, and you

might not have the access to change the original JCL.

The following JCL using IEBEDIT utility can be helpful in acheiving the above without

editing the original JCL.

This would include Step name STEP010 of Jcl JOBNAM1 present in library

USERID.ABC.JCLLIB

//IEBEDITA JOB (XXXXXXXX,,,,,XXXX),' ',CLASS=T,

// MSGCLASS=Y,NOTIFY=&SYSUID

//*===========================================================

//* EXAMPLE FOR IEBEDIT UTILITY

//*===========================================================

//STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT

//SYSUT1 DD DSN=USERID.ABC.JCLLIB(JOBNAM1),DISP=SHR

//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSIN DD *

  EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP010)

/*

Where

USERID.ABC.JCLLIB is the Library containing the Input JCL

and

JOBNAM1 is the input JCL name

The other examples of SYSIN card can be

  EDIT TYPE=INCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP010,STEP040) - To include stepnames STEP10 and STEP40



  EDIT TYPE=EXCLUDE,STEPNAME=(STEP040) - To exclude stepnames STEP40
