COND PARAMETER specified on EXEC statement determines whether step should be bypassed or executed.

COND parameter defined on the JOB statement will DETERMINE whether Job should be terminated at a certain point or continued. When COND parameter is defined on the JOB statement, the system evaluates condition specified in the COND parameter before beginning of any job step and COMPARES the code specified in the COND parameter with the return code of all previous jobsteps. If that condition is true, the rest of the job STEPS are bypassed.
