in job statement give Restart=stepname, then the job will start form that step, at the end of that step give sysabend and sysdump statement with a dummy dataset, then after the execution of that step job will end. i think this will works

Override the first step with the dataset name and parameters of the second step and then use the "//" after the step.

First use a variable as a symbollic parameter. Use this parameter in if Condition.

E.g 

Code
  1. //Job Card

    2. 

  2. // SET A= 1

    3. 

  3. //   IF &A NE 1 THEN

    4. 

  4. //STEP1 EXEC PGM=ABC

    5. 

  5. // ELSE

    6. 

  6. //STEP2 EXEC PGM=

    7. 

  7. //STEP3

    8. 

  8. //STEP4

    9. 

  9. ...

    10. 

  10. //STEP100

    11. 

  11. // ENDIF

    12. 

  12.  

    13. 

  13.  



The value of variable A is 1 . When if condition encounter it checks the value of variable A. The condition becomes false and the step 1 is never execute and all the steps in Else statement will execute.

you can code COND=ONLY in the first Job step, so that the first job step never execute

If you want to run any particular step only, use IEBEDIT. this is the most powerful utility.
EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
:
EDIT TYPE = INCLUDE
STEPNAME=(STEP2)

Add COND=ONLY after the EXEC statement for the step that needs to be skipped.

BY specifying a dummy step in the first step and by providing COND in real step1,,we can by-pass the first step
