Make a job safe to rerun

EXTRACT ran last night but failed halfway and someone resubmitted it this morning. Now it fails straight away. Operations want a job that can be rerun as many times as needed without anyone cleaning up by hand.

What you will do

  1. Read IGD17101I and know what it means
  2. Add a cleanup step with IDCAMS
  3. Prove the job runs twice in a row
