How to code MAXCC in a JCL

Gerry, good spot.

I'd forgotten that the RC checking will be satisfied if only one previous RC was LE 3000.

Just had a look at the example linked by Dicks post, which seems a good way to go. I guess that using IF/THEN/ELSE that you can combine abend checking with RC checking too.

Thanks all for the help so far ...

I have run the job with COND=(ONLY,(3000,GT)) as suggested by expat.
Only one problem I am facing if any prior step gets a JCL error , my abend step - //STEP03 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,COND=(ONLY,(3000,GT))
does not run.

What is the return code (RC) of the job in case of JCL error.

Hello,

You cannot test for prior jcl error(s).

You need to set up your jcl so that (after testing is complete) there will be no jcl errors.

There should never be a jcl error in a production job.
