Re: Starting from a specific step in a CL

I had the same problem in the late 1980s when I switched to an AS/400.
We were so used to restarting batch jobs like that. Heck, I remember
when we used to pull cards out of a deck to restart the job at the
failed step.
My problem was I had to realize the AS/400 is not a mainframe and CL is
not JCL.
If your CL is translated JCL, I can imagine the kind of problems you
are having. CL is not written like JCL. The first thing that perplexed
me about CL was that you had to compile it. Compile a command list? I
asked how I could run a CL without bothering to compile it. I got some
funny looks from an IBM instructor on that one.
Your work-around solution with the PF sounds about like the middle
ground I would suggest.
Going forward, I suggest you need to adopt another approach to writing
new CL programs. They tend to be more granular than JCLs. They also
tend to detect when a step can be skipped through various commands. It
is quite a transition in thinking, but I made the transition after a
few failed attempts.
