Hi,

I have a job with 3 steps.First step executes a COBOL/DB2 program .The output of this program will be either "DAY" or "NIGHT". If the output of the program is DAY means execute STEP2 else Execute STEP3 in the JOB.

Can u pls provide me the possible solution for this?

IF your output of your first step is DAY then set RC 1 else 0

and code IF-END IF OR COND for your remaining steps using RC of step 1
