I understand that this cond code check for the return codes from 2 different steps is treated as an 'OR' condition, i.e. if STEP1.RC = 5 or
STEP2.RC = 9, then do not execute STEP3...

I can't seem to find how to code the cond parm as an 'AND' condition,
i.e. if STEP1.RC = 5 AND STEP2.RC = 9

Use IF/THEN/ELSE condition code checking or change the operator (EQ) in the second check.

I understand the IF/THEN/ELSE option, but I'm not sure what you mean by 'changing the EQ operator' in the second check....

I mean change the (9.EQ,STEP2) so that it will reflect what you want.

what I want is to keep the 2 parameters the same :
(same condition codes, same step referbacks)

(5,EQ,STEP1),(9,EQ,STEP2)

but have the 2 checks treated as 'AND' conditions, not 'OR' conditions.
