Answer / vidya

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.
