If you understand how the COND parameter works, then it should be easy to determine the correct code.
I suggest that you click the "IBM Manuals" button at the top of any page, and take a good read of the sections for COND and IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF
If you still have doubts, then post again |

Why not just remove step 2 ? If it's never to be executed it just adds to confusion.

Why does someone believe this should even be considered? |

As others said, you can remove that 2nd job step or comment that out. |

| I always use the IF/THEN/ELSE construct which gives greater control. |

z/OS return codes will be in the range 0 to 4095, hence this in the JCL Language Reference manual:
| Quote: |
16.5.2 Subparameter Definition
code
Specifies a number that the system compares to the return codes from all previous steps in the job or from specific steps. code is a decimal number from 0 through 4095.
Note: Specifying a decimal number greater than 4095 could result in invalid return code testing or invalid return codes in messages.

Hello,
I've encouraged many new people (students / trainees) to set the return-code to values in the 6 or 8 or 10k range just to see what happens. . . |

| FTP with the EXIT parameter sets the return code value to a five-digit number when the FTP fails, where the first two digits represent the FTP function that failed (27 for GET, 16 for PUT and so forth) followed by the three-digit reply code for the command. So FTP gets values like 27550 fairly regularly. Of course, the job doesn't see 27550 ... |

Hello,
Possibly because zero is not less than zero. . . |
