Hi,
I am using IEBCOMPR in JCL to check if the file
got changed from the previous run & if it is then
using IEBGENER copying it to another file. The IEBCOMPR step is giving return code of 12 if the files do not match or if there are more than 10 differences. This return code is ok with me. But I want to set the return code to 4. How can I do that. Question

Thanks,
Ramj.

Ram,

I don't think a return code of 12 from IEBCOMPR is due to the differences between 2 files.As per the manuals it is a unrecoverable error.check this link for

IEBCOMPR Return Codes

check the following documentation for IEBCOMPR

If you really want the return code to be set to 4 then you can use the IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF Statement Construct.
