In a JCL job, you want to execute one step if a file exists and another step if it does not. How would you achieve this using the ELSE statement?
- Check File Existence and Execute Appropriate Steps
- Define Two Separate Job Steps
- Use IF statement to check file existence and execute steps accordingly
- Utilize PROC statements for conditional execution
By using the IF-ELSE construct, you can check the existence of a file in one step and execute different steps based on the result. This helps in handling scenarios where you need to take specific actions depending on file existence.
