In a JCL job, you have a requirement to execute a cleanup step if any of the preceding steps fail. How can you achieve this using the IF statement?
- Execute the cleanup step in a separate job that is triggered by the scheduler based on the completion status of the main job.
- Include an IF statement before each step with the condition (RC > 0), and if true, execute the cleanup step using another IF statement.
- Use an IF statement with the condition (COND.ALL = 0) before the cleanup step.
- Utilize the COND parameter on the EXEC statement for each step and set the condition for the cleanup step to (STEP1.RC GT 0).
To execute a cleanup step if any preceding steps fail, include an IF statement before each step, checking the return code (RC), and execute the cleanup step if the condition is true.
