Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2005 5:03 pm Post subject: Sort step return code not picked up
I have a last step in my JCL which needs to be executed if prior steps return error code > 4 COND=(04,GE). This works for all conditions except one.
There is a prior sort step in the JCL. If I make its syntax incorrect, it will return a code of 16. But when I do this, the last step is not getting executed.
But if I give the stepname in the last step COND=(04,GE,SortStepName), then the last step gets executed.
I am not sure why, when I saw Sort step sysout, it shows an RC of 0, but in the JESMSGLG, it shows 16 for that step.

Is the SORT invoked by a calling program? Perhaps the calling program gets control after the SORT CC=16 and sets the STEPCC as zero.
If the SORT step is simply a JCL invoked sort I don't know why the STEPCC would be zero if the SORT msgs show CC=16? _________________ Regards,
