COND= compares return-code from previous step(s) with a value; it does not make sense using COND= in first step of the job as the parameter will only be checked for correct syntax and ignored by the JES.

Coding COND parameter in the JOB card means whenever any of the steps inside the job satisfies the COND value, then all the steps following it are bypassed. 


Hence even though you code COND parameter in the JOB card, first step will be executed.

But in case of STEP card, if you code COND parameter then previous step return code will be checked.

I hope this clears your query.
