Hi,
I want to code a COND=() parameter in the third step of this JCL.
STEP1 PGM=PGM1
STEP2 PGM=PGM2
STEP3 PGM=PGM,COND=()
What should be the COND code if I want STEP3 to be executed when either STEP1 or STEP2 has a return code not zero. For example if STEP1.RC=0 and STEP2.RC=12, STEP3 should execute. Also, when STEP1.RC=12 and STEP2.RC STEP3 should execute. But when STEP1.RC=0 and STEP2.RC=0 STEP3 should be bypassed.
Can somebody please help as I am confused after reading this line from one of the manuals - "When the COND parameter does not name a previous step, the system tests all previous
steps. If any test is satisfied, the system bypasses the current step"
Thanks,
Rajesh |

//STEP3 PGM=PGM,COND=(0,EQ)
seems to be what you want (bypass execution if any previous step has a Return-Code equal to zero). |

Kevin,
I want to execute STEP3 when any previous step has a return-code greater than zero. STEP3 should be bypassed when all the previous steps have return-codes equal to zero.
Thanks,
Rajesh |

Nope, COND=(0,EQ) doesn't meet my requirements.
Suppose, STEP1.RC=0 and STEP2.RC=12. As we are not coding the STEP name in the COND, it checks all the previous steps to see if anyone staisfies the condition and STEP1 does. So it bypasses STEP3. but my requirement is to execute STEP3 in this scenario. |

Hello,
Try COND=(0,NE). |

| Is there a reason why you are not considering using the newer and recommended IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF construct? |

| yes using if statement you can solve that. or another option is using cond on JOB |
