How do You skip a Step In JCL?

Answer Posted / kalpana dwivedi

It is true that step can be skip using condition parameter
but COND=(0,LE) is not correct, as Cond parameter works on
reverse logic.

It should be COND=(0,GE) or (4096,LE)

That means step will not run if return code of previus step
is Greater than equal to zero or if the condition code of
previous step is less than equal to 4096.
