Years ago, I learned my first programming language (FORTRAN) from an
excellent book by Daniel McCracken who was justly famous for his
excellent programming books. He was also known, (but not quite as
well) for a mid-life crisis which involved completing a degree from a
seminary, but never g

Yeah I have pointed DEVT(3390)..

You can pass the symbolic PARM to a program and then have the program set
the appropriate return code that the JCL can then use the return code for
branching. In this case you could return 0 or 1.

John Roberts has resolved your problem. You need a reusable zero-th
step that sets the return code.

Another option is to pass the parameter as PARM information to a first step.
The program for the first step would inspect the PARM and set its return code
accordingly. Subsequent steps could be made conditional on the return code of
this first step.

Why not pass the the version in as a symbolic:
//ABC PROC VER=620
//PGMNAME EXEC PGM=PGM
//STEPLIB DD DNS=LOADMOD.V&ver
Then you can call it from your JCL:
//STEP1 EXEC PROC=ABC,VER=620or
//STEP1 EXEC PROC=ABC (This will default to 620)
and then if you have a new version, you can chang

Ok, the proc is like:
//ABC PROC VER='620'
//PGMNAME EXEC PGM=PGM
//STEPLIB DD DNS=LOADMOD.V620
IF VER NOT = '620' i want proc be:
//PGMNAME EXEC PGM=PGM
//STEPLIB DD DNS=LOADMOD.V710
So I code:
//ABC PROC VER='620'
//IF620 IF (&VER=620) THEN
//PGMNAME EXEC PGM=PGM
//STEPLIB DD DNS=LOADMOD.V620
