Weird, it is. Not only is it a "do not" condition, but the expression itself
is "the wrong way round" to my simple straight forward type of mind...

I always have to read it out loud (and twice for that matter...):

>> >COND=(9,LT). This step is executing. Looking at all of the Return Codes

"If 9 is less than the return code of any of the previous steps, then do not
run this one."

So, if, as you say all return codes are 0 except for one that is 4, well,
then 9 is not less than any of them, so the condition is not met and the
step runs.

Cheers,

Jantje.
