Hello,
I want to write COND parameter at JOB card and JOB will be terminate if any steps return code not Equal 0 or not equal 166.
0 and 166 return codes of steps are means not error and the JCL can execute next step.
Is it possible?
Thanks.

After reading the manual, what have you tried and what isn't working?

Infact I couldn't find the exact answer at the manuals.

I am using that COND parameter for now to catch the major error Codes.
COND=((4,EQ),(8,EQ),(12,EQ),(16,EQ),(20,EQ),(166,LT))

I have tried that, but it didn't work;
COND=((0,NE),(166,NE))

I could understand why the second one failed but I couln't find the correct one..
Thanks.

COND=((0,NE),(166,NE))
that means; the job will not continue
if the return code(rc) is not Equal to the 0
or
the return code(rc) is not Equal to the 166

so at every return code at least one of the the conditions is true.
for example :
rc = 0 for step1, 1. condition is false but the second condition is true.
could i explain?

I stand corrected. I've been "done in" once more by reverse logic. I guess that's why I converted to IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF as soon as it became available.
