Answer / ajayre

Guys Sorry to say Option Cond=(O,LE) wont work in this case.

Please find the below .

//X5PAKR5J JOB (X5P,AKR,5,00000),'TEST CONDITION',
//MSGLEVEL=(1,1),CLASS=Z,MSGCLASS=Z,PRTY=04,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP5 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,
// COND=only
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD *
//STEP6 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD *
//STEP7 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD *
//STEP8 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD *

Result:-
STEP5 - STEP WAS NOT RUN BECAUSE OF COND = ONLY
STEP5 - STEP WAS NOT EXECUTED.
STEP6 - STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000
STEP7 - STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000
STEP8 - STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000

COND=(0,LE) will not work.Please try it .

There is no way you can skip the first step of a job from
executing. However further steps can be bypassed by coding
cond=(o,le,).
