JCL COND code test for return codes

Hello,

I have following JCL statement

//TELLOP38 EXEC PGM=TELLOP,
// COND=((0,EQ,STEP38.PR),(8,EQ,STEP38.PR))

The step-TELLOP38 executes only when th RC of step-PR (in the procedure step STEP38) is other than 0 & 8 ?

What happened when YOU tested it

Hi,

This JCL statement is provided by our subcontractor, I do not have complete JCL.

As you said, I tested with own dummy test JCL & PROC with same COND.

RESULT -

The step-TELLOP38 executes only when th RC of step-PR (in the procedure step STEP38) is other than 0 & 8

Thanks.

hi raghav08,

The step-TELLOP38 will be executes only with the condition given in COND parameter will get fails. means if RC of STEP38 will not be equal to '0' or '8' then COND condition is not satified and so that the step-TELLOP38 will execute.

you can use other option also.

//TELLOP38 EXEC PGM=TELLOP,
// COND=((0,EQ,STEP38.PR) OR (8,EQ,STEP38.PR))
