Schedule Job with Job_close after successful job doesn't work

Question

Hi guys,
I'm using FM CLOSE_JOB with parameters : 
            JOBCOUNT             = w_JobId
            JOBNAME              = w_JobName
            PREDJOB_CHECKSTAT    = 'X'
            PRED_JOBCOUNT        = w_oldJobId
            PRED_JOBNAME         = w_oldJobName
I have about 9 jobs wich must run the one after the others. The first start without PRED* parameters, but the 8 others one are filled with CHECKSTAT, and previous job name and id.
It works fine for the side "the one after the others", BUT, wathever the previous job give as result (cancelled or finished), the next one starts whereas I pass the parameter CHECKSTAT to X.
Any ideas of the problem and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Here my code with explanation :

w_StepCount = 0. >> number of steps maxi in a job
w_jobCount = 1.  >> number to see easier in SM37 the job order

CONDENSE w_JobName NO-GAPS.

I hope my code is clear enought, I tried to delete the superfluities code.
