Notes

When a job fails, the number of the failed step is displayed in the first line of the output file. You can use an On statement to reset the failed step value to rerun the job from any step number required.

The failed step number can be reset as follows:

  • For job mode COPY: Use the variable: %%SAPR3-START_STEP
  • For job mode CREATE: Use the variable: %%SAPR3-RERUN_STEP_NUM

The job can also be rerun from a higher or lower step by setting the variable SAP-POF_STEP_OFFSET to a positive or negative number. If the result of the offset is lower than 1, the failed step number is set to 1. If it is higher than the number of job steps, the failed step number is set to the last step.

"+" or "-" values must precede the offset number, for example +4, -3.
