Answer / yvrreddy
If no REGION parameter is specified, the system uses the
REGION parameter specified on each EXEC statement.
If no EXEC statement REGION parameter is specified, the
system uses a job step installation default specified at
JES initialization.

In all our JOB Statement we have always COND=(4,LT) defined. Nevertheless when a Job failed the last step should then be executed (send a message to an user). Due to we don't like to change all our JOB's (ca. 2000), we are looking for a simply solution.
