You need to execute a step in JCL only if it's the first execution of the job and not on restarts. How can you achieve this?
- COND parameter on the step specifying (0,EQ,RESTART)
- COND parameter on the step specifying (12,EQ,RESTART)
- COND parameter on the step specifying (4,EQ,RESTART)
- COND parameter on the step specifying (8,EQ,RESTART)
To execute a step only on the initial run and not on restarts, the COND parameter should be set with a condition of (4,EQ,RESTART). This ensures that the step will be bypassed when the job is restarted, allowing it to execute only during the initial run of the job.
How do you set up conditional processing in JCL to execute a step if a previous step ends with a specific return code?
- COND parameter
- ELSE statement
- IF statement
- THEN statement
Conditional processing in JCL is achieved using the COND parameter
Which JCL statement is used to specify a condition to execute a job step?
- COND
- CONDITION
- EXECIF
- IF
The COND parameter is used to specify a condition for executing a job step in JCL
Conditional execution of job steps can be controlled using the _______ parameter in conjunction with the PEND statement.
- COND
- CONTROL
- ELSE
- IF
Conditional execution can be controlled using the COND parameter with the PEND statement.
The _______ parameter in JCL helps control the execution flow based on specific conditions.
- COND
- CONTROL
- EXECUTE
- PARM
The COND parameter in JCL helps control execution flow based on conditions
In JCL, which parameter is commonly used to define job dependencies?
- COND
- DEPEND
- EXEC
- JOB
The COND parameter is commonly used to define job dependencies in JCL
In JCL, the _______ statement can be used to specify the conditions for job dependencies.
- COND
- DEPEND
- JOBDEPEND
- WAIT
The COND statement is used to specify conditions for dependencies
You have a JCL job with two job steps, A and B. You want step B to execute only if step A completes with a return code of 0. How would you achieve this using JCL's conditional processing?
- COND parameter on step A with COND=(0,EQ)
- COND parameter on step A with COND=(0,NE)
- COND parameter on step B with COND=(0,EQ)
- COND parameter on step B with COND=(0,NE)
To execute step B based on the completion code of step A, you use the COND parameter with (0,EQ) to check if the return code is 0.
When establishing dependencies between job steps in JCL, the _______ parameter is used to define conditions.
- COND
- DEPEND
- LINK
- PREDEP
The COND parameter in JCL is used to define conditions when establishing dependencies between job steps.
Which JCL statement allows you to specify an action if a step returns a non-zero return code?
- COND
- ELSE
- IF
- RETURN
The COND parameter allows you to specify an action if a step returns a non-zero return code
