Sumanth.....

Why cant we test such type of question ourselves by running a job.
I think, no effect of COND specifying at STEP1.

The cond parameter will be ineffective if it is coded on the first step.

Hi guys,
Itz not completely ineffective if you specify COND parameter at first step.
just try coding COND=(0,LE) in your first step....it will not execute the first step at all....just try it n see....

Kumar....

I just ran a job fine having single step with COND=(0,LE) and the step did what was it meant for.

AFAIK..There is no way to stop first step execution by COND Parm.

COND=(0,LE) check if 0 is less than or equal to any of the RCs from earlier steps.

I m sorry....let me correct it...

To suppress the first step from execution, you need to use COND=ONLY.

For any other steps u can use COND=(0,LE).

Let me know if i am wrong.

Kumar.

Yes, Kumar.... COND=ONLY works fine.

It Flushes first step for my job.
