It would be nice if there were a way to get the condition codes into the WTO program, something like (don't try this at home):
//WTO1 EXEC PGM=WTO,COND=EVEN, // PARM='Job FOOBAR terminating. Highest CC was &MAXCC' I seem to recall a discussion here about retrieving the last and maximum job CC's from within a program running as a jobstep and the answer was that there was no good way.

Conditional JCL is free for the coding. Every shop I've worked in uses the mechanism to manage production, including my current one. There is as Brian says no way to handle a JCL error without an external 'product'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
