From 5th to 10th step, give COND parameter. Give the
condition as COND=(0,LE). As 0 is always less than or equal
to the return code of executing step it will bypass.

One more Answer:
If you are good with IDCAMS, then in step5 or (add 1 more step
With name step5r after step 5 and before step6) supply
//step5r exec pgm=IDCAMS
//sysin dd *
SET MAXCC = 16
/*
in Job card, use : COND=(16,EQ).
It will execute till step5 successfully, at step5r it will acquire MAXCC=16, Condition in JOB card is true, all steps will be bypassed after5.
**If you can't create new STEP5r, then please use SYSIN DD * in step5, it is same thing*****
You may also use RC in place of MAXCC.

I have a Symbolic Parameter which can have a value say 01 or 02 etc. Now consider i have another Symbolic parameters which is used to get 3 digit code of months (JAN, FEB, etc) but for that i need to check the first symbolic parameter's value and provide its corresponding month's name in the second symbolic parameter. Say IF sym1 = 01 then sym2='Jan' ENDIF etc... In JCL, IF condition is used for RC, ABEND purposes of a step etc. When i use Symbolic parameter in IF clause it is showing Error message. Is there a way to get the above result possible in JCL. If you could provide me with an example, i would understand it better.
