SQL Sever Agent Job Step !!

Hi pals,

I have stored procedure which dynamically creates a job with 3 job steps which will eventually runs 3 SSIS packages in a sequence.
But i dont know why it is skipping the 2nd step and executing the 3rd step.
I can clearly observe it in the logs.

And if comment the 3rd step and re-run the job, now it is executing the 1st and 2nd step in a sequence.
I can see the log for 2nd package also.
Again i uncommented the code for calling the 3rd step which loads data into Oracle tables.
This time again it is skipping the 2nd step.
I dont know the reason why it is happening so.
It is really frustrating me a lot.
IS there any precedence/ priority given while loading data into Oracle database?

Job steps
First step loads data from staging database to ODS
Second step loads data from ODS to DataMart
Third step loads data from DataMart to Oracle Tables

Can anyone please help me out.

I have tried all options.

Here is my stored procedure.
Is anything wrong in the below stored procedure.

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spExecDTSPackage]
as
declare @jid uniqueidentifier
declare @cmd1 varchar(4000)
declare @cmd2 varchar(4000)
declare @cmd3 varchar(4000)

SET @cmd1 = '"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTExec.exe" /F "D:Package1.dtsx" '

SET @cmd2 = '"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTExec.exe" /F "D:Package2.dtsx" '

SET @cmd3 = '"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTExec.exe" /F "D:Package3.dtsx" '

declare @jname varchar(128)
set @jname = cast(newid() as char(36))


exec msdb.dbo.sp_add_job
@job_name = @jname,
@enabled = 1,
@delete_level = 1,
@job_id = @jid OUTPUT

exec msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobserver
@job_id = @jid,
@server_name = '(local)'

exec msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep
@job_id = @jid,
@step_name= N'step1',
@step_id = 1,
@on_success_action=4,
@on_success_step_id=2,
@subsystem= N'CMDEXEC',
@proxy_name= N'Proxyname',
@command= @cmd1,
@on_fail_action = 2 -- quit with failure

exec msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep
@job_id = @jid,
@step_name = N'step2',
@step_id = 2,
@on_success_action=4,
@on_success_step_id=3,
@subsystem = N'CMDEXEC',
@proxy_name= N'Proxyname',
@command= @cmd2

exec msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep
@job_id = @jid,
@step_name = N'step3',
@step_id = 3,
@on_success_action=1,
@on_success_step_id=0,
@subsystem = N'CMDEXEC',
@proxy_name= N'Proxyname',
@command= @cmd3

-- Start job
exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job
@job_id = @jid,
@step_name= N'step1'


I have also tried out with an simple example , a job with 3 steps which basically inserts 3 recs into a table.

Here is the code and this one is executing fine.
I dont why the above code is not Functioning properly.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
