Block Step Type for Dynamic Parallel Processing with End Condition

[Ramki Maley]

Mike,

The SWWCOND job is scheduled and running. The end condition is very 
simple. Checking for s single character element = Y. The element does 
have a value of Y.
This is not the first time I am having this problem, I faced the same 
issue in an xRPM 4.5 installation a couple of months ago. Ended up doing 
it the old fashioned way with sub-workflow with an Activity step. Will 
have to do the same again as I don't have much time.

Regards,
Ramki.
