Is it possible to reset condition codes midway thru a job ?

Let's say I have a job with 4 steps.

Step1 = Return code 8
Step2 has COND=(4,LT) therefore it is bypassed
Step3 should execute whatever happens and has no COND parameter
Step4 has COND=(4,LT) therefore it it bypassed.

What I would like that job to do is :

RUN STEP1 -->> CODE 8
BYPASSE STEP2
RUN STEP3 -->> CODE 0
RUN STEP4 according to return codes starting at STEP3 instead of return codes of all previous steps.

Is there a way, just before STEP3 to reset the highest return code so far obtained for all subsequent steps ? I know I could split those steps in two jobs or code elaborated COND statements of IF statements. But I would just like to know if there is a command to reset the return codes midway thru a job. Maybe it's impossible. I'm just curious.
