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.

What do you understand by the term “keyword” with respect to jcl and what is the opposite of the term?
