STEP

The STEP statement identifies a section of program statements within a command file. If an errored statement is issued, the spin-off mechanism is initiated. This means that all subsequent statements up to such a section are ignored. If no STEP statement is encountered prior to the END statement, the program receives a return code to which it can react with abnormal termination. Following abnormal termination, spin-off continues at command level (see the SET-JOB-STEP command in the “Commands” manual [1]).
