we can pass the COND parameter as (0,le) or (4096,ge) to the step which we wann skip from execution.

@Kalpana:
Please do not misguide others, there no reverse direction.
SIMPLE RULE : Condition True = Bypass
Condition False = Execute.
Explanation given by you is not correct.
Anyways, thank you for reply.

Answer / steve holton
For an unconditional skip step, just remove it completely
from the job stream.
Otherwise, for conditional removal, you can use the COND=
stuff, which I consider to have "reverse logic" also, as
noted by one responder above. I think "reverse" because if
is notmal to think "If the RC is GT 8, SKIP, but the RC and
the "constant" (8, in this case) are backwards, so you have
to say "IF 8 LE RC, then skip to accomplish the same thing.
OR (and I prefer) JCL IF...ELSE ..ENDIF statements, which
uses more straightforward logic, analogous to the
IF/THEN/ELSE logic in programming languages (i.e. IF RC=0
THEN execute to the ELSE or ENDIF, else SKIP TO ELSE or ENDIF.

Answer / kalpana dwivedi
It is true that step can be skip using condition parameter
but COND=(0,LE) is not correct, as Cond parameter works on
reverse logic.
It should be COND=(0,GE) or (4096,LE)
That means step will not run if return code of previus step
is Greater than equal to zero or if the condition code of
previous step is less than equal to 4096.
