Answer / shailendra
cond means condition parameter
this parameter we can use in job as well as exec statment
if we are mention cond then it will check condition for the
step before execute it. if condition will match then this
step never execute. we can put maximum 8 condition at a
time.
format
cond=((retern code,conditon,step name),....(retern
code,conditon,step name))

Answer / xyz
Specifies whether the JOB should continue or terminate
depending on the outcome of any step in the JOB
Before each step is executed, the system checks the COND
parameter against the return code from completed JOB step
If satisfied, the system terminates the JOB, else it
executes the JOB
Format is COND=((code, operator), (code, operator)…)

Answer / guest
COND means condition parameter. It is compared with system
return code of previous step.//step1 exec pgm=abcd//step2
exec pgm=xyz, cond=(4,lt)step2 will be executed when system
return code of step1 is less than 4.

Answer / yaswanth kumar j
Use the COND parameter to test return codes from previous
job steps and determine whether to bypass this job step.
You can specify one or more tests on the COND parameter,
and you can test return codes from particular job steps or
from every job step that has completed processing. If any
of the test conditions are satisfied, the system evaluates
the COND parameter as true and bypasses the job step. If
none of the test conditions specified on the COND parameter
are satisfied, the system evaluates the COND parameter as
false and executes the job step.
SYNTAX:
COND[.procstepname] =
(code,operator)
COND[.procstepname] = ((code,operator[,stepname]
[.procstepname])
[,(code,operator[,stepname][.procstepname])]...
[,EVEN])
[,ONLY]
COND=EVEN
COND=ONLY

Answer / sree
Each step returns a code to the system once it finishes its
execution.This is a condition code. COND parameter is used
to control the execution of a step based on the condition
code of its previous steps.
Syntax
COND=(comparsion-code,condition)
(If coded on job)
COND=(comparsion-code,condition [,stepname] [,EVEN / ONLY])
(If coded on step )
condition can be GT,GE,LT,LE,EQ,NE

both statements coded then
JOB-COND will override EXEC-COND.
job-cod will active.

Answer / kathirvel sellappan
Condition can code in both JOB and EXEC statements. when we
code these parameter on both statements JOB-COND will
override EXEC-COND.

Answer / eswar
COND parameter in JCL to control the flow of execution steps.
It is very important parameter in JCL.COND can be coded at job level and step level,but always JOB level -COND will override the STEP level-COND.For example in JOB there are 10 steps,if i want to execute step4 only reaming steps are not executed then should mentioned RESTART parameter at JOB level.
i.e.,RESTART=STEP4 at JOB LEVEL and give JCL end (//)after step4,Then the control directly goes to at that particular step and execute that step only.

Answer / siri
COND:-IT IS USED FOR EXCUTE THE STEPS BASED ON RETURN CODE....MAXIMUM 8 CONDITIONS ARE CODED IN ONE COND PARAMETER....
COND=(CODE,OPERATOR,STEPNAME)
CODE CAN BE 0-4095
OPERATOR CAN BE GT,LT,GE,LE,EQ
GIVING COND IS TRUE THE STEP WILL BE BYPASSED...COND IS FALSE THE STEP WILL BE EXECUTED....

If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???
