Error description

• In IBM Wazi Deploy v3.0.7.2, the job_submit building block
  incorrectly reports a step status as "Ok" when the submitted
  z/OS job is cancelled.
  
  Steps to Reproduce
  
  1. Create a deployment plan YAML file:
  
  activities:  - name: SUBMIT JCL
     description: |
       This activity submits a JCL to run the program
     actions:
         - name: Test of JCL submit
           steps:
  
           - name: Submit JCL to cancel
             properties:
             - key: template
               value: job_submit
             - key: var_job_submit
               value: job_submit_test_cancel
  
  2. Create an environment YAML file:
  
  spec:
  
   job_submit_test_cancel:
      src: 'CASE.JCL(CANCEL)'
      max_rc: 8
  
      wait_time_s: 25
  
  
  3. Create JCL member CASE.JCL(CANCEL):
  
  
  //WAITJOB JOB
  //STEP1   EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH
  //STDOUT  DD SYSOUT=*
  //STDERR  DD SYSOUT=*
  //STDPARM DD *
  SH sleep 60
  /*
  
  4. Execute IBM Wazi Deploy with the plan and environment
  
  5. Observe evidence file output:
