I have a step which executes a proc, proc has got seven steps, i need to check the condition of the seventh step, which executes a proc again.

I tried checking the condition, its abending with the jcl error.

..
..
..
//JSTEP1 EXEC JPROC
//ABNDSTEP EXEC PGM=ABNDPGM,COND=(4000,GE,JSTEP1.STEP7.GO.RC)

JROC CODE:
//JPROC PROC
//..
//..
//STEP7 EXEC SPROC

SPROC CODE:
//SPROC PROC
//GO EXEC PGM=XXX

Don't think you can do that. I believe that only one downward level of checking is allowed, i.e. the same as using over rides in JCL for PROCS. You can not over ride a PROC called within a PROC, and I'd guess that the RC checking is subject to the same restrictions.

Not sure if changing the PROC that is executed from within the first PROC to do its own RC checking on only the steps it processes might work.

I have never seen the need for another PROC imbedded into another PROC, why not just run the second PROC after the first PROC rather than imbed it, and that way you are free to over ride and CC check easily.

yes - execute it as a seperate job or - less good - execute it as a level 1 procedure so your job executes 2 procedures - the first with 6 steps and the second is the proc that was step 7.
