Hi, can you check SQL return code in JCL COND statements? I have step JOBX001 that does table updates and the following step JOBX002, to check for return code.
My goal is to check for SQL return code, so that I can execute a ROLLBACK or COMMIT depending on SQL return code, but I'm not getting the result I want. Somebody here knows how to do it?

Select all

//JOBX001  EXEC DB2TTSO                                                 
//*                                                                     
//DB2TTSO2.SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*                                         
//DB2TTSO2.SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                         
//*                                                                     
//DB2TTSO2.SYSIN DD DATA,DLM=$$                                         
UPDATE PROD1.CUSTOMER_VWLOG                                             
  SET CUSTNBR = '0012354'                                               
 WHERE SQE_NBR = 11;                                                    
                                                                        
$$                                                                      
//*                                                                     
//*-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
//JOBX002  EXEC PGM=PNOTIFY,                                            
//             COND=(0,EQ,JOBX001.DB2TTSO2),                            
//             PARM='1500 *** TABLE UPDATE FAILED ***'                  
//*--------------------------------------------------------------------

The same way everyone else does it - write a program.
JCL checks program return codes not query return codes. They are checked by the program executing the query.

It depends, does the program executing the UPDATE command set a return code? In which case it should be set as the step rc too. Another method is to use i.e. SORT to scan the output dataset for a ok/nok message and set the step rc accordingly. But then we are of course talking about a program.

Thank you, NicC and Willy Jensen. That's what I thought, it should be embedded within a program.
