There is a COND=[4,LT] on the Job Card.
I want to execute a step,
regardless of the return code of ONLY the previous step.
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=PROGRAM1
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=PROGRAM2 Execute regardless of RC for STEP1
//STEP3 EXEC PGM=PROGRAM3
//STEP4 EXEC PGM=PROGRAM4 Execute regardless of RC for STEP3
Can this be done without having to duplicate the step,
and testing separately for a good vs bad Return Code.
If STEP1 abends, I want STEP2 to execute and the job to end.
If STEP1 and 2 RC LT 4, and STEP3 Abends, execute STEP4. |

| You set the RC of each step and use IF ENDIF conditions to control the processing. |

1. Remove COND= parameters from your JOB and EXEC statements. (BTW, your COND=[...] must give you syntax error)
2. Use appropriate combination of JCL statements
// IF
// ELSE
// ENDIF
It is more flexible, and provides more functionality compared to COND= parameters. |
