In JCL, the COND
code is used to control the execution of job steps based on the completion codes of previous steps. Omitting the
COND
code in a subsequent step will lead to the execution of the step even when previous steps have failed. This can result in
unnecessary resource usage, potential data corruption, and can make debugging more difficult.
Exceptions
The rule will not trigger on job steps inside IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF
statements.
