Gil,
But the check is "greater than", so based on Greg's earlier post of "bypass
this step if", the equation becomes "bypass this step if 7 is greater than 16".
It isn't so the step will execute. Definitely NOT intuitive... It becomes a
repeat of the COND checking in STEPA040.

I don't see that. From the JCL Ref.:
If you omit stepname, the code you specify is compared to the return codes
from
all previous steps. If the return code issued by [*any*] of those previous
steps
causes the test condition to be satisfied, the system evaluates the COND
parameter
as true and bypasses the job step.
There would still be the CC=16 from STEP010 bypassing STEPA030.
