Hi,
I have one job which has 5 steps. In that 3rd step will always give return code 4. But i need to set the final return code to zero instead of MAXCC=04. Is this possible using any utility?
thanks |

Hello,
No, you cannot reset previous return codes.
Why do you need to do this? |

Why do need to convert the MAXCC to zero, you can as well check for the return code of the STEP03. i.e. STEP03.RC and code COND accordingly, please ignore this advice if your requirement is not met thisway. |

IF MAXCC=4 THEN SET MAXCC=0 |

How do you know that the program that is being executed will accept your parameters ? It could be that the program is an in house coded program. |

Hello,
Did you try this

at your location before posting it?
It should work inside an IDCAMS step, but i believe it will not work in JCL directly. |

hi -
yes dick, you're correct that 'IF MAXCC...' code will run using IDCAMS.
sorry, i forgot to include it in my post. |

Not to worry 
I wonder if abhicet2003 has an answer that will work in the posted question? We've not heard anything for several days. . . |

Hi.. can we know why u need to reset the RC to 0000.. so that we can find some other way.. to fix your issue...
I hope as per IDCAMS we can set the max code to High i.e if maxcc = 04 then we can set to RC greater than 04. |

There is no restrictions like that.. u can even set an RC less rhan what u get.. i.e if maxcc=04, then u can set to RC less than 04 also..  |

Hi,
I Accept we can give any return code for the step.. but at the end of the job the Highest return code will get displayed... so if RC=04 in first step and we set to zero in further step... at end the job will display RC=04.. as per the req he need zero at end of job... |

hey,
I think we are getting confused..

U cannot alter the return code of a previous step using IDCAMS.
using IDCAMS u can alter the return code which u get in that IDCAMS step only.. |

R u saying that we can set the return-code to a bigger value so that the job will finally show the Ret-code set by us?? 
What u said is correct, but that was not the requirement...
it was this

Hello,
If it has been posted, i've missed it - what is giving the RC=4?
Others have asked the following, but i'm not sure i know the answer - why does the RC need to be "reset to zero"?
A non-zero RC is not necessarily a bad condition. . . |
