/General Perception on
To start with, this question deos not make any sense -- dont' get disappointed, i'll try to explain the things. Actually, the way question is phrased it seems you are quite new in the profession.
/General Perception off
JCL itself does nothing, it just arragens the things to perform what a user wants. So, nearly everything depnds on programmer.
JCL error is something which pops-up when there is some syntax-error in your JCL. There can be many reasons for that, there can be many syntax error; viz.: DD is coded past column 16 to state the one... You can refer JCL reference manuals every now and then when you get some JCL error or if your JCL-syntax checker (JEM, JSCAN etc.) is intelligent enough to tell you the error on the spot.
MAXCC is the heighest RC from some step of JCL. RC values are not predictable -- they can vary from 0 to 4096.
In case you are executing some user written program there is no meaning to bet upon the MAXCC or RC from the JCL, they depend on the user-program. However, in the case of Sort, IDCAMS they can tell you a direct meaning. Suggest you look into the appropriate manual.
Abend is pretty staight forward -- your program (mind you not the JCL) is abnormally terminated; program can be a user written or a utility.
