i am trying to copy a PS file into VSAM file in step2 by
using PGM=IDCAMS,COND=(0,LT) and the pS file is getting
sorted in the step1. I got the return code 00 for step1 but
step2 got flushed. can u please help on this. Below is My
JCL.

SEPP050 EXEC
PGM=SORT,REGION=6144K
SYSIN DD DSN=SYSCMN.PROD.CCLIB
(F5910BNN),

DISP=SHR
SYSOUT DD
SYSOUT=*
SYSUDUMP DD
SYSOUT=A
SORTIN DD
DSN=Z1225BT.F5910EPP.HISOUT,

DISP=SHR
SORTOUT DD
DSN=Z1225BT.F5910EPP.HISOUT.SORTOUT5,
DISP=
(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=DELQ,
SPACE=(CYL,
(500,500),RLSE),
DCB=
(RECFM=FB,LRECL=1606,BLKSIZE=16060,BUFNO=15)
SORTWK01 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,

DD01 DD DSN=Z1225BT.F5910EPP.HISOUT.SORTOUT,
// DISP=SHR
//***
//DD01O DD DSN=Z1225BT.F5910PHS,
// DISP=SHR,
// AMP=(AMORG,'BUFND=12,BUFNI=5')
//SYSIN DD DSN=SYSCMN.PROD.CCLIB(F5910BBB),
//
DISP=SHR

Output RC for the two steps:

1. cond=(0,lt) is false in this case the sepp060 should
execute. Better don't include cond and try to see what will
happen.
generally this cond parm is so confusing that sometimes we
get much confused whether it will execute when the
condition if true or false.
