Hi vrakeshmbt,

To your notice.

The MVS/ESA JCL Reference manual for Version 4 (V4)
(GC28-1654) indicates that "the keywords recognized in
relational-expressions are:

1)RUN
2)^RUN

RUN-indicates that the specified step executed
^RUN-indicates that the specified step did not execute

STEPNAME.RUN
STEPNAME.RUN=TRUE
Indicates that the relational expression tests that a
specific job step (stepname) executed.

STEPNAME.PROCSTEPNAME.RUN
STEPNAME.PROCSTEPNAME.RUN=TRUE - Indicates that the relational expression tests that a specific job step (stepname) and procedure step (procstepname) executed.

^STEPNAME.RUN
STEPNAME.RUN=FALSE - Indicates that the relational expression tests that a specific job step (stepname) did not execute.

^STEPNAME.PROCSTEPNAME.RUN
STEPNAME.PROCSTEPNAME.RUN=FALSE - Indicates that the relational expression tests that a specific job step (stepname) and procedure step (procstepname) did not execute.

Hope this helps.

The manual that iknow was referring you to has an example here:

Hi Superk,

Thanks for your valuable information. I tried my level best to get the example but I couldn't.

Anyways the link which you have sent gives a clear understanding on how to use STEPNAME.RUN in the JCL.
