COND specifies the conditions for executing the subsequent job step. The value after the COND= is compared to the return codes of the preceding steps and if the comparison is true, the step is bypassed.
Latest Answer: In exec statement the condition is used for by-passing the perticular step through the condition,if COND=0 Its a successfull executionif COND=4 Its a warning if COND=8 Its a serious errorif COND=16 Its a fatal error.So that we can use this condition key ...
MVS now allows for an IF bracketed by an END IF around any job step to replace the COND= syntax. Again, if the IF statement is true, the step is bypassed.
The value after the PARM= specifies control information to be passed to the executing program of the job step.
Latest Answer: It is only used for to pass the values by JCL to the perticular application program like COBOL program. ...
REGION specifies the maximum CPU memory allocated for a particular job or job step. If REGION is in the JOB card, it relates to the entire job; if in the EXEC statement, it relates to the job step.
Latest Answer: region is the keyword parameter used in job and exec statements annd it is for storage purpose region=2096128k default ...
TIME specifies the maximum CPU time allocated for a particular job or job step. If TIME is in the JOB card, it relates to the entire job; if in the EXEC statement, it relates to the job step.
Latest Answer: if time parameter is coded on both job and step, then the time coded on the EXEC statement over-rides the one on the job.[refererred on pg 88 of Mvs Jcl Primer]U might be interested to know this too.The COND parameter if coded on both job and step, ...
