I was on a JCL course recently and I asked the instructor the same question. He's response was the same, to use restart and break in the next step. I would rather use "//" not conditionals.

With COND (0,LE) you could have a problem if the previous job didn't end with 0, or if there are more than 4 steps in the JCL.

you can introduce a null statment (//) at the end of step3 and restart from
step 3.

Can we use a COND in jobcard? My understanding is Cond can be given along with EXEC statement.

Hi Deepa,

Yes, condition parameter can be given in the jobcard along with the
EXEC statements mentioned in steps to follow.

let me know in case of any concerns.

regards,
David.

Hi,

Restart the job from the 5th step and override the condition parameter for the successive steps of the proc, in the job.

The condition may look like COND.STEP6 =(0,LE)

Thanks
