Answer / deepak gairola
Cataloged procedures in JCL can not have instream data(we
can't Use SYSIN DD * statements), so the data needed to
pass to them is put into a Control Card.
Control Card is an element in a PDS.
Means:
The input that we need to give to a procedure like sort
fields..record feilds to be processed are generally put in
the pds member and this is specified in the jcl procedure
as
//ddname dd dsn=pdsname (member)
This member is called a control card
Similarly, you can also pass the data through the SYSIN
parameters.

It depends.
"Control cards" come in many flavors. . . There are control
cards for the sort, most utilities, and many application
programs.

I have 20 steps in a job... step01, 02....step17...step20. For some reason I want to execute step17 only if the return code for all the previous steps are less than or equal to 4. otherwise if return code for any of the previous 16 steps is greater than 4, then step17 should be bypassed. How do I do that ?? how and in which step should i formulate COND parameter
