The explanation in the OP below didn't ask for a particular abend code. It said "to allow a job to continue if a particular step abends". I was attempting to address the issue of multiple and possibly nested "ugly" IF statements for the following steps.
If particular abend codes are relevant, then use a single IF instead of the COND in the first job I described. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Schwab Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2011 5:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: JCL: IF and ABEND And how do you specify the particular abend code on a COND statement?
