In all our JOB Statement we have always COND=(4,LT) defined. Nevertheless when a Job failed the last step should then be executed (send a message to an user). Due to we don't like to change all our JOB's (ca. 2000), we are looking for a simply solution.

This is from JCL User guide....
Step Execution after a Preceding Step Abnormally Terminates
Abnormal termination of a step usually causes the system to bypass subsequent
steps and to terminate the job. However, the EXEC statement COND parameter
lets you request execution of a step by coding:
//stepname EXEC PGM=x,COND=EVEN
The step is to be executed even if one or more of the preceding steps
abnormally terminates. That is, the step will always be executed, whether or not
a preceding step abnormally terminates.
//stepname EXEC PGM=x,COND=ONLY
The step is to be executed only if one or more of the preceding steps
abnormally terminates. That is, the step will not be executed, unless a
preceding step abnormally terminates.
If a step abnormally terminates, the system scans the EXEC COND parameter for
the next step for an EVEN or ONLY subparameter. If neither is present, the system
bypasses the step. If EVEN or ONLY is specified, the system makes any requested
return code tests against the return codes from previous steps that executed and

did not abnormally terminate. The step is bypassed if any test is satisfied.
Otherwise, the step is executed.
Note: Certain error conditions prevent the system from executing a step,
regardless of any requests specified through the COND parameter. Other
considerations are also related to the use of the COND parameter. For
information on cautions when specifying COND parameters, see the
description of the COND parameter on the EXEC statement in OS/390 MVS
