Error running JCL: Failed by interpreter

I am new to JCL
there certain standards that are followed in my company to write JCLs
Can someone help me in understanding what these commands mean?

1. #SCC,COND=(0,NE,*)

2. //CKSTEP10 EXEC PGM=FASTLOAD,COND=(0,LT),PARM='TENACITY=4',REGION=2048K

my JCL fails when try to include the commands
#SCC,COND=(0,NE,*) and
PARM='TENACITY=4',REGION=2048K

with the error: failed by interpreter.

How can I resolve this error?

See this previous topic.

nothing wrong by a FORMAL ( jcl error ) point of view
as far as the program parm and the region are concerned

I guess that the "#SCC" is a commend related to the job scheduler,

the O/P is probably submitting the job without passing thru the scheduler

regards

yep

Passing Tenacity to the pgm.
But when i include this, my code fails

Also about the SCC
The code is as below:

so is it that SCC can be used only when scheduler is used to submit the job?

we cannot use SCC when submitting the job manually by SUB command?

1) Yes!
2) No!
