You are tasked with creating a JCL job that executes several programs in sequence. Discuss the considerations and JCL statements you would use to manage this job effectively.
- Consider using the COND parameter to handle conditional execution based on step completion
- Ignore conditional statements and allow all programs to run sequentially
- Use the PEND parameter to pause execution until specific conditions are met
- Utilize the IF/THEN/ELSE statements to control program flow within the JCL job
Using the COND parameter allows effective management of a sequence of programs in JCL by controlling conditional execution based on step completion.
