Dear Friends,


Please help me in the following case.

I have a JCL of this Format :-

Step1 Exec PGM=A

Step2 EXEC PROC1,AA=4,BB=5,COND=(0,GT,STEP1)

Step3 Exec PGM=A


Here in Step3 I need to check the Return code from Step2 which is a PROC. I need to check like this :-

Step3 Exec PGM=A,COND=(0,GT,Step3)

I cannot use a If/Else/EndIF.

Is there any way to check the retuen code from the Step In proc. My this PROC1 has only One Step.

Please help.

Thanks,
Karun

Very strange questions you are asking........ Yes this can be done (if I understand what you are asking)

I believe as a hint I would say that your COND statement would reference both the STEP NAME and the PROC STEP NAME.

I would also note that COND code checking is probably the LEAST straight forward parameters in the JCL language. This is perhaps why the IF/ELSE/ENDIF was introduced/

karunkallore,

You can check the return code of the proc , but you need to specify the exact stepname of the proc.

Check this link for a detailed explanation of the cond parameter with examples.
