Ques: How can we code COND parameter in a JCL so that only even steps (or only odd steps) get exec..

Answer / muttaiah

I think in this way you can achieve your requirement.
For ODD steps:
Code cond=(0,LE) or cond=(4096, GT) on all Even steps.
For Even steps:
Give restart=step2 in job card,
Code cond=(0,LE) or cond=(4096, GT) on all Odd steps.

The reason why we are using cond=(0,le) or (4096,GT) is
The cond parameter work's in such a way that if the the
condition is true it will bypass the step on which it is
coded.
here (0,le) or (4096,Gt) is always true so the steps will
bypass(won't execute).

@All: Do correct me if i'm wrong.
