COND=EVEN should make it work.

My criteria is if any step fails then only the BATCHTMP step shud execute. COND=EVEN will execute in any COndition

Guess it should be COND=ONLY then.

I think that if it was up to me, I'd rather use IF/THEN statements so I could handle both step abends and steps with non-acceptable return codes:

My constraints are

1. If STEP010 fails STEP020 will not be executed, but STEP030 which is the BATCHTMP step should be executed to send the mail.
2. If all the steps are with RC=0, the BATCHTMP Step should not be executed.

Is there any cond where in if a step fails, the successive step instead of checking the RC and not executing ,it will check the RC and transfer the JCL execution control to the particular step which has the BATCHTMP step.

I know i am asking for more

Hi,

You can check for the return code of STEP010 IN STEP020 using a condition or you can also use an if statement as superk told for STEP020, and have a COND=ONLY IN STEP030.

I guess this would work fine for you.

Hi Abhi,
Your question is that u need to execute 5th step(BATCHTMP) in the job only if any of the above steps fails...

If so... u can use the condition in the 5ht step as COND=(0,LE).. i think it should work

Thanks,
Suresh Antony

Hi Ahbi,

If you want an appropriate ans to your ques you have to invest the time to precicely define the problem.

Show us the JCL. Tell us exactly what "fails" means - a certain RC (GT 0;4, 12, and 16?); an abend; both? Multiple examples of what the solution should accomplish can be of help.

Expecting people supply solutions based on inadequate info and then rejecting them because they don't address a scenerio you neglected to mention is rude, because it expects them to spend more time on the problem than you do.

I am sorry if my post was rude and was no detailed.
My condition is if the RC of any step is greater than Zero, the jcl should execute only the last step which is the BATCHTMP step.

Sorry again :!:

What do you want to do if any step abends?
