As long as the DD is never opened, the VTOC is never searched for the DSN.
What is special about this?
I've always received JCL errors when specifying DISP=OLD with a non-existant
DSN.
And, I started in this business as a JCL jockey (Production Support) in
February 1981.
Is it the VOL=REF?
It's that UNIT and VOL are specified.
If these aren't specified it has to do a catalog lookup, and
you get a JCL error if it isn't cataloged.
