But one of the most useful purposes of COND= testing is
COND=(0,LE,<whatever>) ... which ensures the current jobstep will NOT
execute unless previous jobstep <whatever> did NOT execute. So 'NOT
logic' can still do what 'IF ELSE etc.' cannot. <g> CP

One thing I've been taught since I was in school 30+ years ago. Do not use
NOT logic. COND goes against everything I've worked at my entire career.

LOL. I've been writing JCL for 25 years and I still cannot get the COND
right.

suppose I'm old school, never saw a need to code IF-THEN-ELSE in JCL, only
use cond code checking and never have any issues with step execution or job
flow.
the only cond code testing I ever do when writing procs is, "if it's true,
it's through", meaning the step/job won't execute if the COND is true.
I guess IBM added all that IF-THEN-ELSE stuff because too many coders
never learned that lesson.
