Hi,
I have a JCL, one of the step may fail with JCL error, So I want handle that situation at runtime, means if JCL error occurs I want to perform some different steps. Can we achieve this?
Hope My question is clear.
Thanks,
Apeksha |

No. A JCL error will always flush the job and prevent any further processing.
A better solution is to make sure this doesn't happen to begin with. |

You can try this out if needed:
If the job ABENDS then execute the steps that you want in some other job that by triggering that job only if the job ABENDS. Try this out if it works, though I have not tried it. |

An abend and a JCL error are two completely different animals, and as far as I can recall the many scheduling software packages do not trigger on JCL errors.
Also, for a job to be triggered how will the scheduling package know what steps that you would like it to run ? |

Sorry, but no, you don't. Not really. . .
You want to make sure that the jcl will never fail. Nothing should ever happen in a production run that causes a jcl error. If your system has batch processes that occasionally fail with a jcl error, they should be corrected to prevent the jcl error, not deal with it by "running something else". |

If you tell us what are (can be) the possible reason/s for your JOB to get a JCL error there can be some alternate solution/s I believe.. |

| JCL errors can be of different types. If there's a syntax error the job will not be executed at all. If in one of the steps i.e dataset errors occurs previous steps are executed and the job will die while checking the current step. So our TS should provide more information. |
