Configuring the z/OS Agent

Configuring the z/OS Agent

Any step ending with a condition code that matches any of the criteria specified in the config file means that the step is 
considered to have completed normally. Multiple criteria may be specified for the same step by listing the step more than 
once with different values. For example, if you wanted a step to be considered normal if it completes with a condition 
code value of 0, 4, 8 and 16 (but not 12), you could add the following lines to the config file:

JOB01.STEP01.PROC01=4

JOB01.STEP01.PROC01=8

JOB01.STEP01.PROC01=16

Keep in mind that the step will be evaluated as normal if any of the conditions are true. If you add the line 

then the step completes normally only if the condition code value is 0, 4, 8, 16 or 

greater than 1,000. Any other value that is returned is considered abnormal.

If you list multiple condition codes values, be sure to list specific step masks before any more generic masks. The values 
for job, procstepname, jobstepname and condition code are retrieved from each of the job log’s IEF142I messages during 
evaluation. 

Condition Code Evaluation Examples

The following is an example for jobs that do not use a job PROC. In this case, the condition code value of 4 for (job) 

 (job step) 

 means the job completed normally.

SETCC1.STEP1=4

You can specify more than one control card for a job step, in this case both condition codes 4 and 8 for 

 

will be normal (ignored):

SETCC1.STEP1=4

SETCC1.STEP1=8

Refer to the table in 

 for a list of the operands available for use 

when configuring condition codes.

Examples of control cards for jobsteps are provided here:

Control Card

Meaning

SETCC2.STEP1<>8

Any return code less than 8 or greater than 8 from job SETCC2, job step STEP1 is ignored 
(considered normal). Only condition code 8 would be considered abnormal.

SETCC4.STEP2<=12

Any return code less than or equal to 12 from job SETCC4, job step STEP2 is ignored 
(considered normal). Any condition code above 12 would be abnormal.

SETCC4.STEP3>=16

Any return code greater than or equal to 16 from job SETCC4, job step STEP3 is ignored 
(considered normal). Any condition code lower than 16 would be abnormal.

SETCC4.STEP4<20

Any return code less than 20 from job SETCC4, job step STEP4 is ignored (considered 
normal). Any condition code 20 or above would be abnormal.

SETCC4.STEP5>24

Any return code greater than 24 from job SETCC4, job step STEP5 is ignored (considered 
normal). Any condition code less than 24 would be abnormal.
