Hi,

I have a JCL coded like this :

There are 6 steps - R010 thru R060.

1. Step R010 - Returned zero

2. Steps R020, R030, R040 & R050 - conditioned out using COND=(0,NE) and hence were FLUSHed

3. Step R060 - has COND=((0,NE,R020),(0,NE,R030)).

We were expecting R060 also to be FLUSHed, as neither R020 nor R030 returned a zero, but this step was executed. Can someone kindly explain why this step was not FLUSHed?

Apologies if this is something very basic that I should've picked up very early in my 3 years of Mainframe experience Embarassed

And thanks in advance !!

From the JCL manual section 16.5 COND parameter

Maybe the reverse logic of the COND parameter has confused me once more (which is why I prefer to use IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF), but shouldn't steps R020 through R050 have executed instead of being flushed? I would have guessed that R020 through R050 would have flushed if COND=(0,EQ) had been coded on them.
