Regarding Condition codes

Hi,

I need to execute step3 depending on the Return codes of previous two steps step1 and step2.

step3--should not execute when both step1 and step2 return code is 4.
when any one of the step has a return code other than 4,step3
should run.

Please provide me the condition code needed for this.

Have you looked at the COND Syntax?

//step3 exec
//.....
// endif

Take a look at Examples of IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF Statement Construct and Using the IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF Statement Construct and post back with your best guess......

You first said BOTH steps must be CC=4 to run step3. Your sample code says OR.

Which do you want?

I said step3 should not run only when both steps step1 and step2's return codes are 4.

my sample code is
// If step1.rc not equal to 4 OR Step2.rc not equal 4
//step3 exec
//.....
// endif

when step1 rc=4 and step2 rc=0
If step1.rc not equal to 4 OR Step2.rc not equal 4
step 3 will exexute

when step1 and step2 both rc=4
If step1.rc not equal to 4 OR Step2.rc not equal 4
both these condition will be false,so step3 will not execute

You have almost coded the solution yourself.

Hi,

when i tried the below code,i am getting Error that ^-should not be used with IF.
// IF (STEP1.RC ^= 4 OR STEP2.RC ^= 4) THEN
//STEP03 EXEC PGM=xxxxx
// ENDIF

Hello,

I believe the jcl checker may be looking for x'5F' rather than x'B0'. . .

Try NE instead of ^=.

... or look it up in the JCL manual.
