If a JOBSTEP abends, AND without using COND also, all the
subsequent steps execute, then what is the use of using EVEN
? Why do we use EVEN when without it also all the JOBSTEPs
execute ?

Answer Posted / kodees

Once the Job abends, the Execution in CPU ends & the job
would be returned to Output queue.

COND=EVEN in a step, allows the job to further execute in
the CPU for completion of that particular step.
