Hi,

Can anyone help me with answer for below question.

Q). Step1 exec pgm=pgm1
DD1 DD DSN =FILE1

I want to bypass FILE3 and process with another fileX without using any utilities and cond parameters ?

Can anyone help me with approach to bypass file 3?

Why do you not want to use any utilities or condition codes?

And why would you think you need to? Just edit the JCL, change DD3 to point to fileX, and submit it.
