Hi all,
We are using OPC (Operations Planning & Control) for submitting batch JOBs.
We have 3 JOBs subsequently to be executed.
Based on First job RETURNCCODE (it must be 0) second JOB gets executed and based on second JOB RC...third job gets executed.
Now the problem is even though the first job having problems...its giving Return code as 0 and allowing second job to get executed which should not happen in my case.

How to prevent these situation.
Expcting a solution.

Bhaskar,

Please do not post the same question twice. I deleted your duplicate post.

Do you have cond code checking for each step in your Jobs. If every step in the job is giving a return code of zero then I think it is indeed a successful job. let us say you have a job with 4 steps in the first job

STEP1 - Return code 0
STEP2 - Return code 16
STEP3 - Return code 0
STEP4 - Return code 0

So in the above case step2 had a return code of 16 . you should have a cond codition check to abend the job in step2 itself.

Expecting a solution eh?

Well just make sure the first program doesn't get any problems and the same for the second job and then the third job will run just fine.

There's a solution for you.
