Hello, how are you?
I have a problem with this. I have to check with a step job cond parameter if the ealier step who executes a procedure gives a 2 return code.
| Code: |
//CHECK1 EXEC ARCHFREE,ARCH='file.example'
//STEP444 EXEC PGM=ICEGENER,COND=(2,EQ,CHECK1.ARCHFREE)
|
When I do this, I receive a error message in step444.
''10 IEF645I INVALID REFERBACK IN THE COND FIELD ''
this same error happens even if I put (2,EQ,CHECK1) or (2,EQ,ARCHFREE)
Can anybody give me a clue?
Thanks in advance. |

Change the reference: instead of procedure name use the step name within that procedure.
FYI: any JCL procedure may include multiple job steps.
BTW: do you know that the parameter COND specifies the condition to skip the job step where it is used, not to allow its execution? |

thank you.
//STEP444 EXEC PGM=ICEGENER,COND=(2,EQ,CHECK1.PASO01)
this worked. |

| Don't use "COND" anymore, IBM added IF..THEN..ELSE..ENDIF logic about a zillion years ago. |

yes, I use if but there are people who control the job stream that told us that we have to put the cond parameter this time because if we dont do that the stream is not going to work... something like that. |

Old school way how to understand COND test(s) action
NERTS: any are true, skip (this step)
I sure preferred IF/THEN when it arrived. |
