Answer / praveen b

RC - Return code
MAXCC - Maximum conditon code

RC is the value written by each step after the completion
(either way successful or not).
MAxcc is the value written by the job to the OS meaning the
Maximum value of all the steps in the job is given as MAXCC
and the same is written to OS by the job.
