Hi,
I have 4/5 procs in my job. In the first proc, based upon RC of first step, I have to stop/abend the job from running and returning that code.

I can't use COND parameter as its not good have COND for all 60-70 steps

I can't use If after first step and placing ENDIF at last step(60th step). New programmer, when he is analysing, he can't look thru the code for where the IF is ending. He should understand job is getting stopped from here itself.

Sarangdhar,

Move the first step of first proc to the JCL and check the return code or use IF-END-IF logic in the JCL itself. This process is self explanatory and can be understood by all.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

This proc called by more than one job. So, instead of changing all jobs and procs, Can I put a SAS step after that first step in that proc? Is it so worthful?

//OMITST IF (RC > 0) THEN
//STEP2 EXEC SAS
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTIONS ;
DATA _NULL_ ;
ABORT ABEND 666;
RUN ;
/*
//OMITEND ENDIF

Sarangadhar,

Why add another pgm/proc ?. You can check the return code of the first step and abend based on the return code

Sarangadhar,

Most shops have a standard abend routine program. Some sites have ABEND , ABEND99 , GDIABEND...

Ask your system programmers about this program.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
