It's about 50 years ago since I wrote Jol, the replacement or
enhancement language for JCL. And it's my birthday, so I thought I might
say a word or two.
One of the reasons I wrote Jol was to incorporate PL/I style IF's into
the language. And to generally simply the whole JCL process.
Now,

The symbolic parameter is tested against a valid relational-expression
keyword, and I'm not using some "IF THIS= THEN" expression!
Maybe someone from IBM will chip in to once and for all clarify this,
update the manual, either way, and tell us who is wrong...

Replying via the website, so no context, apologies
Use "impossible to match" if-then logic, this is what I use in one particular
job to just compile:
//SET LI=4095 (skip link)
//*SET LI=0 (link if compile is OK)
//*
//IFLINKIF RC <= 4 & RC >= THEN

Billy,
great - thank you
I'll get the JCL manual updates, as it does not describe this way of doing
things - I read it as only supporting RC, ABEND etc., not variables

Here is a neat little trick I learned from a guy at CA, using SET and
IF. I use this a lot now, and other than needing a dummy step if I am
testing the first step in a job, it works great. I have been able to
nest my IF statements sometimes 3 deep when I have complex processing

Hi Colin,
Add a TSO Step in which a CLIST/Rexx does a "LU Userid", trap the output
and if your program "sees" ICH30001I UNABLE TO LOCATE USER ENTRY, avoid
the DELUSER.

I'm looking at ways of doing customisation, and want an easy way to
run/omit steps.
For example
ADDUSER ZZZ NAME('COLINS')NOPASSWORD -
OMVS(AUTOUID ASSIZE(25600) THREADS(512))
being a good person, I also want to provide a delete step
DELUSER Z.
My fantasy JCL looks like
