For example, if you had 10 steps and you want only first 6 steps to run then simply add //SAVE DD DATA,DLM=## after step 5 and everything else below it will be ignored . It also will give the flexibility of skipping some steps in between and run later steps too.I've used that technique also to introduce free form comments, avoiding the tedious "//*".
