Hello,

Do you really mean "abended" or do you mean some undesirable condition code has been set?

If you explain what the "watched" steps (i.e. steps 3, 4, 5, 6. 7) acccomplish and what you want step10 to do when an abend occurs in one of the "watched" steps, we can possibly offer more useful suggestions.

Hi,
assuming you do mean abend then this should work

Code:
//CHECK01  IF (ST03.ABEND = TRUE)                 
//         OR (ST04.ABEND = TRUE)                 
//         OR (ST05.ABEND = TRUE)                 
//         OR (ST06.ABEND = TRUE)                 
//         OR (ST07.ABEND = TRUE) THEN             
//*                                               
//ST10     EXEC PGM=IEFBR14                       
//*                                               
//CHECK01  ENDIF

I too used this only.

Is there any limit to the number of conditions that can be checked in a IF statement.
