Hi,

I have following code in my jcl
STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=(8,LT)
DD01 DD DISP=(MOD,DELETE),SPACE=(TRK,0),
DSN=FST.&ENV..&FEED..&SRCE..JVS.CONNECT

This is first step in jcl. the dataset in question will be deleted by previous job. this step is included in jcl to make confirm to delete it if it was not deleted by previous job. My question is what is the use of COND=(8,LT). As this is the first step in jcl this cond wont be anyuseful. Suppose if the dataset is deleted prior to this job run, will STEP001 wont find the dataset, what hapens in that case whether it will give jcl error or it continues with next step.

Thanks
nadh

nadh,

Pay attention to the DISP parameter and look up in the JCL manual for DISP=MOD. Cond Code in this step has no effect.

Hi,

I have a job which ends with a return code 8. Can I override this return code as this return code for this job is acceptable and make it end with a Return code Zero.
