<To Terry> I am so very much in agreement with you, COND is indeed a bit troublesome
While posting it originally I was hoping a beginner in JCLs who has recently visited the manuals and was experimenting around COND parameters to have noticed this, because once you have actually started working with these things, you tend to find workaround solutions similar to Terry's first post i.e. adding of an IEFBR14; but finally our senior members ( ) caught it first
Cheerio.
