Your use of "&LI" is not "intended or supported" syntax.
The JCL Ref. says:
• You can specify symbolic parameters on IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF
statements provided that they resolve to one of the supported
relational-expression keywords. Any other symbolic parameters,
even if accepted by the system, are not intended or supported.
Refer to “Relational-expression keywords” on page 366.
Neither "0" nor "4095" is among the listed “Relational-expression
keywords”
In old-fashioned JCL, I've used:
//STEP0 EXEC PGM=IEFBT14
//STEP1 EXEC whatever,COND=(0,LE)
