For an unconditional skip step, just remove it completely
from the job stream.
Otherwise, for conditional removal, you can use the COND=
stuff, which I consider to have "reverse logic" also, as
noted by one responder above. I think "reverse" because if
is notmal to think "If the RC is GT 8, SKIP, but the RC and
the "constant" (8, in this case) are backwards, so you have
to say "IF 8 LE RC, then skip to accomplish the same thing.
OR (and I prefer) JCL IF...ELSE ..ENDIF statements, which
uses more straightforward logic, analogous to the
IF/THEN/ELSE logic in programming languages (i.e. IF RC=0
THEN execute to the ELSE or ENDIF, else SKIP TO ELSE or ENDIF.
