We are using the MF Mainframe with MF COBOL and VSE JCL.  We can restart a job but the job will not restart at the step specified.  It is restarting the jobs from the beginning.  This is causing problems for our VSAM files.  It's a 64bit operating system and we are pointing to the exe in the program files (x86).  We really do not want to rerun prior working steps.   Please advise.

If you're using casout as documented (casout /jjobnumber:step) and it's not working as you expect, you'll need to raise an incident with Micro Focus Customer Care.
