Which parameter will be used to stop the execution of a step(which resides in the proc) in JCL.

  2. COND.STEPNAME=(0,GE)

  3. COND.STEPNAME=(0,LE)

  4. COND.STEPNAME=(LE,0)

C Correct answer
Explanation

In JCL, the COND parameter conditionally bypasses step execution based on previous step return codes. COND.STEPNAME=(0,LE) means if the named step's return code is less than or equal to 0 (success, as RC=0 indicates normal completion), skip execution of this step. This implements conditional logic where a step only runs if a prerequisite step failed.
