If I recall correctly, the COND= on steps in a called PROC will take on the COND= value of the COND statement on the EXEC card. In your case, COND=(1,LT) will replace all of the COND=(0,LT) that exist in the PROC in the PROCLIB.
Does this make sense? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chase, John Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 11:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: JCL COND= processing Hi, All, Got a little puzzle here we can't seem to figure out. A batch job consists of three jobsteps, each of which invokes a multi-step PROC. Example: //JOBNAME JOB ... //STEP01 EXEC PROC1 //STEP02 EXEC PROC2,COND=(0,LT) //STEP03 EXEC PROC3,COND=(1,LT) Each PROC is structured the same, with the same COND on each procstep: //PROCn PROC //PSTEP1 EXEC PGM=PROGn1,COND=(0,LT) //PSTEP2 EXEC PGM=PROGn2,COND=(0,LT) //PSTEP3 EXEC PGM=PROGn3,COND=(0,LT) //.... Jobsteps 1 and 2 complete with RC=0, as does each procstep in PROC1 and PROC2. Jobstep 3, procstep 1 completes with RC=1 or higher, and the programmer expects the remainder of the job to be flushed; but all remaining procsteps are executed. The job finally abends S0C7 in a later procstep because a dataset that was intended to be populated in the first procstep is either empty or non-existent. The puzzle: Why is the remainder of PROC3 executed when its first procstep produces RC>0?
