I have never come across this (or anything like this) in hundreds (thousands with automation ?) of times using TYPRUN=SCAN.
1) Has it always been a farce ? 2) Are there lots of other scenarios where it doesn't work ? 3) What is exactly is the root cause of this farcical behavior ? The DISP=SH example should be easily flagged as an error in any programming environment. (Spell check for Hotmail even flags the English spelling of behaviour as an error).
