Answer / guest
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. (If this answer confuses you,

Answer / suresh babu
EXEC operation is meant for executing a program or
procedure. Each EXEC is known as one step. Maximum EXEC
steps in a JCL can be: 255.
The COND parameter coded on the EXEC statement applies only
to the job step that it is coded in. The job step is
executed or bypassed, depending on the condition codes
issued by one or more prior job steps.
SYNTAX: COND=(comparison-code,condition,stepname)
