Problem in executing a step based on return code

Hi , I have a step in JCL which is executing based on if condition

IF ((S2.RC NE 6 AND S6.RC NE 7 AND S2.RC NE 1) AND S7.RC EQ 2) THEN
S8 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
*
SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
SYSTSIN DD DSN=&&PRTCRD,DISP=(SHR,PASS)
DELETE DD DSN=&CKA61.test,DISP=(OLD,DELETE,DELETE)
ENDIF

Now mine requirement is like , before this step there is step S6.
When S6 is getting flushed out then this step is not executing because of AND condition S6.RC NE 7 .So I changed it to OR condition.
IF ((S2.RC NE 6 OR S6.RC NE 7 AND S2.RC NE 1) AND S7.RC EQ 2)

I do not want to run this step when S6 return code is 7 then this step should not execute.which is not executing when
IF ((S2.RC NE 6 AND S6.RC NE 7 AND S2.RC NE 1) AND S7.RC EQ 2)

So I want to give a condition when S6 gets flushed out then this step should execute and When return code of S6 is 7 then this step should not
execute.

Thanks

I suggest that you hit the "IBM Manuals" button at the top of any page and then read the chapter on IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF processing.

What you want can indeed be accomplished using these, you just need to read some more and then try again.
Suggest you pay some attention to the RUN parameter.

And as i told someone else before:

Please read about the IF Statement in JCL.
So you don't need thesse unreadable COND anymore.
