Answer / prachi

No... you need to have the EXEC for each JOB step.

Answer / zerro

No, you can't. But you can use system program IEFBR14 to do
nothing on the sole step, e.g.
//MYJOB JOB
//MYSTE EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
p.s. what is the purpose to write a job without any real
work inside?

I have 20 steps in a job... step01, 02....step17...step20. For some reason I want to execute step17 only if the return code for all the previous steps are less than or equal to 4. otherwise if return code for any of the previous 16 steps is greater than 4, then step17 should be bypassed. How do I do that ?? how and in which step should i formulate COND parameter
