The '//STEPA030 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=(7,GT)' NXEQ'S because 7 is GT the CC=00 from '//STEP000 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14' (regardless of the CC=16 from STEP010) - so STEPA030 *does not* execute. If STEP000 is commented out, the only previous step is then STEP010 and it has CC=16, and 7 is not GT than 16, so the COND=(7,GT) of STEPA030 does not apply, and STEPA030 therefore *does* execute.
