This should work:

define d_dummy char*1 = &
    "Y" if (<your condition(s)>) &
    	   and setsystemval("<name>","<value>",logical,"lnm$job")

As long as your condition is first, then it should work fine.  Based on my 
tests, I found that the second "and" condition (in this case, the SETSYSTEMVAL 
function) is not executed if the first condition is not met.

I hope that works for you.
