Hi,

if you want to run the same steps repeated number of times.

code all those steps in a Proc (either ctaalog or instream), and call the proc when ever and where ever u want.

please correct me if i am wrong incase.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but JCL doesn't have the ability to pass control to previous statements in a single run.

You could either set up a proc.
Personally, I'd INCLUDE the step as many times as needed

Use an instream proc:
See the code below, it takes the backup of the dataset by replacing the NODE parameter

Code
//BKUP    PROC 


//CPY     EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY,REGION=1024K                                  


//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*                                                  


//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*                                                  


//SYSUT1    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ABC.TEST.&NODE                   


//SYSUT2    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ABC.BKUP.&NODE 


//SYSUT3    DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(2,2)) 


//SYSUT4    DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(2,2))             


//        PEND 


//* 


//        EXEC BKUP,NODE=AAA 


//        EXEC BKUP,NODE=... 


//        EXEC BKUP,NODE=ZZZ

Put the JCL to be called multiple times into the working storage section of COBOL program and submit this JCL from perform statement with until condition of COBOL program . Call this COBOL program from another JCL.

JCL with multiple jobcards will submit the JCL multiple times

Put the Steps in a In-Stream PROC and repeat executing the PROC n times.
