Answer / dnyandeep
COND=EVEN, when it is coded on JCL step, that step will execute EVEN when previous step executes abnormally. This means even if previous step completes then also this step will execute.
COND=ONLY, when it is coded on JCL step, that step will execute only when previous step executes abnormally.
I think the use of it depends on programmers need and logic.

Passing a variable parm from JCL to a cobol/db2 program
I have a Symbolic Parameter which can have a value say 01 or 02 etc. Now consider i have another Symbolic parameters which is used to get 3 digit code of months (JAN, FEB, etc) but for that i need to check the first symbolic parameter's value and provide its corresponding month's name in the second symbolic parameter. Say IF sym1 = 01 then sym2='Jan' ENDIF etc... In JCL, IF condition is used for RC, ABEND purposes of a step etc. When i use Symbolic parameter in IF clause it is showing Error message. Is there a way to get the above result possible in JCL. If you could provide me with an example, i would understand it better.
