what is the COND=EVEN ? Can anyone give me an example to explain the usage...

Answer / dnyandeep

COND=EVEN, when it is coded on JCL step, that step will execute EVEN when previous step executes abnormally. This means even if previous step completes then also this step will execute.

COND=ONLY, when it is coded on JCL step, that step will execute only when previous step executes abnormally.

I think the use of it depends on programmers need and logic.
