I don't understand "if A is triggered successfully".

Do you mean if job X kicks of job A then job B should fail? Or you mean if job A finishes successfully job B should fail?

For either case, can job B be left waiting and removed by end of day, rather than let it fail?

Yes after the completion of A the job B should be failed.

You can have two jobs: job B1 will complete normally and job B2 will complete with failure. Job A can order B1 or B2 using STEP according to A's status.

is there any way to pass parameter from A to B and according to that B will execute with if else stmt as per the scenario.

Control-M does not have direct mechanism to pass parameter between two jobs. The closest option is to define a global AutoEdit variable in JobA for JobB to consume. Outside of Control-M, JobA can write something into a file for JobB to read, provided JobA and JobB have access to the same file and writing and reading the same file be part of corresponding job script.
