Answer / prijey

Condition in Step3 refers to the maximum return code from
the prior steps.

If 4 is less than MaxCC from prior steps then Step 3 will
not be executed. Step 4 will be executed anyway.

Answer / arun

Condition in step3 refers to the same step return code.And
it does not refer step1 or step2 return code because the
condition is placed in step 3 only.If step3 condition is
satisfied then step4 will excute.

If condition is placed at the job then it will refer
previous step return code before excuting the current step.
