Answer / vs kumar

Do not use the cond code. As per your jcl the second step
is always skipping. Remove the cond code and try it.

Answer / muttaiah

1. cond=(0,lt) is false in this case the sepp060 should
execute. Better don't include cond and try to see what will
happen.
generally this cond parm is so confusing that sometimes we
get much confused whether it will execute when the
condition if true or false.

Answer / srikanth

COND=(0,LT) will not work only if any of the previous steps
ended with a non zero return code(except FLUSH). By
changing the condition to COND=(0,LT,SDCBPJ05)is working
fine.
