COND statement can be replaced with IF END IF statement.
In COND, if the condition is true then the step will be
bypassed.
In IF END IF, if the condition is true then the step will
get executed.

True, COND parameter are a bit complex to write and
Understand. So they are promoting the use of
IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF instead of using COND parameters.

Answer / guest
MVS now allows for an IF bracketed by an END IF around any
job step to replace the COND= syntax. Again, if the IF
statement is true, the step is bypassed.

I have a Symbolic Parameter which can have a value say 01 or 02 etc. Now consider i have another Symbolic parameters which is used to get 3 digit code of months (JAN, FEB, etc) but for that i need to check the first symbolic parameter's value and provide its corresponding month's name in the second symbolic parameter. Say IF sym1 = 01 then sym2='Jan' ENDIF etc... In JCL, IF condition is used for RC, ABEND purposes of a step etc. When i use Symbolic parameter in IF clause it is showing Error message.
