IF LASTCC (or MAXCC) > (or <,=etc...) value -
THEN-
DO-
command set (such as DELETE, DEFINE etc...)
ELSE -
DO -
command set
LASTCC - Condition code from the last function (such as delete ) executed
MAXCC - Max condition code that was returned by any of the prev functions
SET is also a valid AMS command. SET LASTCC (or MAXCC )= value
The maximum condition code is 16. A condition code of 4 indicates a warning. A condition code of 8 is usually encountered on a DELETE of a dataset that is not present.
