purge jobs with return code 0 and retain jobs with RC>0

Hi,
How can I write a JCL that purges the job if it returns RC=0 and does not purge it if RC>0?

Thanks

Have a look at JES OUTPUT OUTDISP parameters. It works Ok when you let ABEND the successful jobs. So a two step solution should do your task.

PS: I tried it just now, and it's fine for me.

Thank you, but that’s not what I meant. I want the job to be completely purged if RC=0; otherwise, it should remain in JES.
We do this by MSGCLASS but it purges both RC=0 and RC>0 jobs

Check what I have written, it's independent of the MSGCLASS parameter you have set.

Can you give me a small jcl example?
