Remarks

SQL Server Agent job steps are identified by a user-specified integer value. If no value is specified when SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) is used to create a job, job steps are given an identifier value when the job is added to the Jobs collection of a JobServer object.

By default, the StartStepID value is the value of the StepID property in the first ordinal position of the JobSteps collection of the Job object.
