To check JCL error using IF else operators.

Hi,
My job is getting JCL error.
Can is use IF ELSE verb to check if job had JCL error and send the respective email.

Like for abend we have:
IF ABEND
of IF RUN (IF previous step went fine) Is it possible to check for JCL error on whole JOb or any specific step.

Regards,

NO,

A JCL error terminates the job immediately with no option of further conditional processing.

Hello,

Properly implemented Production jobs should "never" experience a JCL error. If this ever does happen, the implementation needs to be corrected - NOT dealt with "on the fly".

JCL-error and abend are two different animals so you should not be mixing them.

Hi Anuj,

the problem here is the OP wants to be able to handle a JCL error.

As already mentioned above, there is no way to track this via an IF statement in the JCL.

A scheduling tool can handle this.

Hi Gerry,

Looks like I've totally misunderstood what OP might be looking for. I'll walk slowly now.
