StepID Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The StepIDproperty is a user-defined, long integer identifying a SQL Server Agent job step.

HRESULT GetStepID(LPLONG pRetVal);
HRESULT SetStepID(long NewValue);
Remarks
When using SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) to define the steps of a job, set StepID as part of job step creation. A value specified for StepID is used to define the first step executed when SQL Server Agent runs the job, and it is used in properties controlling job step execution flow.
