You are tasked with designing a JCL job that processes files differently based on their file types. If the file is a text file, it should be sorted, and if it's a binary file, it should be copied. How would you implement this logic using JCL's conditional processing?
- Embed IF-THEN-ELSE condition directly in the SORT and COPY statements.
- Use IDCAMS to inspect the file type and branch to corresponding processing steps.
- Use a COND parameter on SORT and COPY steps based on the file type condition.
- Utilize IEBGENER for copying and DFSORT for sorting, each with separate COND conditions.
Employing COND parameters on the SORT and COPY steps based on file type conditions allows conditional processing in JCL.
