A critical part of your JCL job depends on a specific dataset's existence. If the dataset is absent, you want to skip that part. How would you handle this scenario using JCL conditionals?
- COND parameter on the step specifying (0,EQ,
) - COND parameter on the step specifying (0,NE,
) - COND parameter on the step specifying (4,EQ,
) - COND parameter on the step specifying (4,NE,
)
Using the COND parameter with a condition of (0,NE,) allows the step to execute only if the specified dataset is present, ensuring the critical part of the job is skipped if the dataset is absent. This helps in handling scenarios where job execution depends on the existence of a specific dataset.
