Hi,

Is there any significance if we use RESTART a step that has got COND codes?

The situation is a big job was abended with SE37 abend in JS210 step that has COND codes as shown below.

//JS210 EXEC PGM=XXXX,
// REGION=256K,
// COND=((200,EQ,JS010),
// (0,LT,JS200))
//SYSLIB DD DSN=XXXXX.XXXXX.XXXXLIB,
// DISP=(SHR,KEEP,KEEP)
//SYSLIN DD DSN=XXXXX.XXXXX.XXXXECG,
// DISP=(SHR,DELETE,KEEP)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*,
// DCB=(RECFM=FBM,LRECL=121,BLKSIZE=0,DSORG=PS)
//SYSTERM DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(10796,(120,60))
//*

Whether we comment them or leave them as it is, is it going to make any difference when this job is restarted from the particular step?

Also, what can be achieved from the "(0,LT,JS200)"? A step can never issue a return code less than 0 !!

Please explain.

Mf_user,

It is not the question of thanking the person that helped you. Providing feedback (whether the solution worked or not) will help future searches. Also it does not hurt to thank the person who helped you.

Check this link and read section 16.5.6.5 When the JOB Statement Contains a RESTART Parameter which is a subtopic at the bottom of the link

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2B631/16.5.6?SHELF=&DT=20030423085347&CASE=

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Well...well....well...........that was really a beautiful piece of information.

16.5.6.3 COND Parameter on the First Statement in a Job
The system evaluates a COND parameter on the first EXEC statement in a job as false. However, you can use an IF statement before the first EXEC statement in a job to bypass the step. See Chapter 17, "IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF Statement Construct" in topic 17.0 for more information.

It has completely cleared my doubt. Thanks a lot Kolusu.
