Hi,
In JCL we can trap the JCL abend by having COND=ONLY, based on which we can execute some steps.
In the similar manner, there is a possibility of JCL ERROR in my job. I need to execute one step if I comeacross any JCL ERROR. Is there any way in JCL in order to trap the JCL ERROR.

Thanks

I am not sure of this ..but giving u an idea Smile

I need to trap the JCL ERROR in the similar manner how JCL ABEND is trapped.

For Example:
My Job haves totally 20 steps and I am having an notification in the last step having COND=ONLY. If the job abends in any of the step 1 to 19, this STEP020 will run. If the job went fine the STEP020 will not run.

In the same way as above for abend, I need one for JCL ERROR.
