What condition code should I use

love_vk · New User Joined: 05 Apr 2006 Posts: 4

Hi,

There are 3 steps in my JCL
say
step1
step2
step3

what condition code should I use in step 3 to cater following requirements:

1. if step1 abends step3 should not execute
2. if step1 executes properly and step2 abends then step3 should execute.
3. if step1 and step2 both executes properly then step3 should also execute.

that is
It doesn't matters whether step2 runs or not, step3 should run if step1 had run successfully.
I don't want to use If-end if clauses........I just wanna use condition code in step3.

plz reply me asap

thanks

Hi priyesh

it does not satisfying condition 2
if step1 executes properly and step2 abends then step3 should execute.

Thanks

hy love_vk,

you say: it does not matter what will happen with step2.
therefore why this is not satisfying condition 2?

Priyesh writes:
skip step3 if the returncode received from step1 is not equal 0,
i.e. step1 has abended

Hi,

Now say if step1 executes properly(cc=0) and step2 abends then with condition code provided by priyesh step3 will not be executed. It will be bypassed.

Thanks

hy love_vk,

ok, then put step2 at the end of the job,
this is most simple.

love_vk,

If STEP1 is ran fine & STEP2 abended in between, all successor job steps would be FLUSHED. It doesn't depend on COND code given in STEP3(apart from EVEN & ONLY).

So if your STEP3 any way doesn't depend on STEP2 and you have to satisfy all the three conditions too... then try exploring possibilities of changing places for STEP2 & STEP3.

means STEP1, STEP3 and then STEP2.

Else all thses 3 conditions cant be satisfied with COND parm alone.

Regards,
Priyesh.

hi if i am wrong please correct me

suppose if a step in a job gets abended means it will not execute the rest or remaining steps present in that job.
right.

if this is the case how the step 3 of your program will execute if the step 2 gets abend

it will stop execute the rest of the steps right

if this is wrong please mail me the correct answer to me
waiting for your reply
thanks

I Think I have to use If Else Clause

I hav used the following now

If (step1.RC = 0) Then
//step3
cond=even

end if

Plz let me know if i m doing something wrong here

Thanks
