How about adding support for DISP=(REPLACE,DELETE) or DISP=(DELETE,DELETE)?
Either would essentially delete the dataset exists, and then allocate
the dataset as new. This would also allow the construct
DISP=(REPLACE,CATLG,DELETE) to function like DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
but without causing a JCL error if the dataset happens to already
exist. This latter JCL error being a particular bane of mine.
