This is not to imply it will run. . .

As suggested, create a test case and see what happens.

Hi felix

There is a difference when a job gaves a JCL Error , or Return Code . or Abends. All the three are different and many a time freshers confuse between the three and simply refer to them as 'the job abended'.
