A RETURN_CODE shows the status of each step within a job, however a MAXCC is counted by the operating system after execution of a complete job which is the maximum of one of the step.

Answer / praveen b

RC - Return code
MAXCC - Maximum conditon code

RC is the value written by each step after the completion
(either way successful or not).
MAxcc is the value written by the job to the OS meaning the
Maximum value of all the steps in the job is given as MAXCC
and the same is written to OS by the job.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.

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
