General Information for CTB STEP

A maximum of two CTB STEP statements (that is, one START statement and one END statement) can be entered.

Upon filling in the first CTB STEP line on the screen and pressing Enter, the ARGUMENTS line and the second CTB STEP line are displayed. If the second CTB STEP line is filled in and Enter is pressed, its ARGUMENTS line is displayed.

Multiple arguments must be separated by a comma without a space because they are automatically passed to the Control-M/Analyzer step as a PARM=‘arguments’ parameter in the JCL of the step.

Control-M uses the status returned by Control-M/Analyzer as it would use the return status of any job step.

• If Control-M/Analyzer returns a status of OK or TOLER (within accepted tolerances), Control-M considers the step as having ended OK.
• If Control-M/Analyzer returns a status of NOTOK or ABEND, Control-M considers the job step as having ended NOTOK.
