Hi all

I got a cyclic job, that merges several files and creates one on output. Works well, but ...
When one of files does not exist, job ends with strange "FLUSH" word instead of RC.
I'd like to stop this cyclic job in case flush occurs (By "STOP" i mean stop cycle, that job will not be in state "waiting schedule" after bad run).
Is it somehow possible through either JCL or SCH ?

Best regards!

As usual change was nice and small.
In sch definition for my job i had stop condition such as
IF ANYSTEP ENDS WITH RC > C0004 DO STOPCYCL.
i changed it to
IF ANYSTEP ENDS WITH RC NOTOK DO STOPCYCL.

and from now, when step020 ends with flush signal, jcl ends and stopps cycle
question closed.


Regards
