You need to execute a step in JCL only if it's the first execution of the job and not on restarts. How can you achieve this?
- COND parameter on the step specifying (0,EQ,RESTART)
- COND parameter on the step specifying (12,EQ,RESTART)
- COND parameter on the step specifying (4,EQ,RESTART)
- COND parameter on the step specifying (8,EQ,RESTART)
To execute a step only on the initial run and not on restarts, the COND parameter should be set with a condition of (4,EQ,RESTART). This ensures that the step will be bypassed when the job is restarted, allowing it to execute only during the initial run of the job.
