Not much information there, but I'm assuming you are
looking at an IDCAMS step and see something like

IF LASTCC=8 THEN DO
SET MAXCC=3
END

This is typically used when deleting/defining a GDG or VSAM
file, in case the delete fails (because the file wasn't
there to be deleted). This allows processing to continue
after that step, as the programmer decided that manual
intervention was not required. Depending on system
settings, the job my stop processing further steps based on
a condition code set in any step in the job (MAXCC). This
value is typically 8 (any completion code 8 or greater will
stop further processing).

if we display var1 then what will b displayed in below condition. 77 var1 pic s9(2) value -10. 77 var1 pic s9(2) value -11. " " " -12. " " " -13. -14 ... ... -19.

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
