Hi,
I have a JCL which gets the return code of 01 or 02 from the cobol program based on the program logic and if the return code is 01 or 02, the job should abend.

My doubt is that even though i am getting the return code of 2 from rogram the job is not getting abend. Can someone please help me-

JCL-
-----
Code:

//PSTY0010 EXEC PGM=TESTNOFL,COND=(4,LT)
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTMSG  DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD  DSN=CPISXK.TEST.SYSIN(CCCHECK),DISP=SHR
//*
//ABEND010 EXEC  PGM=ABEND,
//            COND=(3,GT,PSTY0010)
//*
//* -----------------------------------------------------------------
//* IF JOB FAILS AT THIS STEP, ENGAGE THE ON CALL SUPPORT PERSON
//* -----------------------------------------------------------------
//ABEND011  EXEC  PGM=ABEND,
//         COND=((1,NE,PSTY0010),(2,NE,PSTY0010))
//*


JESMSG
--------
Code:

-JOBNAME  STEPNAME PROCSTEP    RC   EXCP   CONN       TCB
-TESTNOFL PSTY0010             02     67     15       .00
-TESTNOFL ABEND010          FLUSH      0      0       .00
-TESTNOFL ABEND11           FLUSH      0      0       .00


Here setp ABEND11 should run and the job should abend??

Oh my apology. Actually one of the condition (1,NE,PSTY0010) is true so the condition will be true and the abend step will be bypassed. It has no flaw.

Sorry, my mistake here. icon_cry.gif

Your condition will always be TRUE
Code:
        (cc NE  1) or (cc NE 2)
CC = 0 =>    TRUE  or    TRUE   => TRUE
CC = 1 =>    FALSE or    TRUE   => TRUE
CC = 2 =>    TRUE  or   FALSE   => TRUE
CC = 3 =>    TRUE  or    TRUE   => TRUE
----------------------------------
         (cc LT 1) or (cc GT 2)
CC = 0 =>    TRUE  or    FALSE  => TRUE
CC = 1 =>    FALSE or    FALSE  => FALSE
CC = 2 =>    FALSE or    FALSE  => FALSE
CC = 3 =>    FALSE or    TRUE   => TRUE

Note that the z/OS MVS JCL Reference states:
Quote:
If any of the test conditions are satisfied, the system evaluates the COND parameter as true and bypasses the job step

My opinion is that the IF/THEN/ELSE construct is superior to the COND parameter. If you wish to make use of COND, however, code it as
Code:
COND=(0,EQ,PSTY0010)

Hi Akatsukami,
I also think that IF/THEN/ELSE is a better option than COND but in my organization IF condition is not allowed instead the standard is to follow COND.

And Yes, i later corrected my condition to COND=(0,EQ,PSTY0010) and it worked.

I also prefer the IF/THEN/ELSE construct, but as in sandeep's case IF is not allowed in production JCL here. I've heard that JCLs with IF are more difficult to deal with in case of restarts.

Not if you set the procedures up correctly in the first place. Takes a bit of thinking out but generally restarts can be handled cleanly.
