Actually if you do not code DISP, according to the JCL Reference manual: If you omit the DISP parameter, the default is a NEW data set with a disposition of DELETE for both normal and abnormal termination disposition. Thus, you can omit the DISP parameter for a data set that is created and deleted during a step.
So the default when not coded at all is DISP=(NEW,DELETE,DELETE) Don Imbriale >-----Original Message----- >From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf >Of Farley, Peter x23353 >Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 10:32 AM >To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU >Subject: Re: 'ALLOCATE' a data set in my TSO/E session > >Lizette, the default DISP for existing datasets is OLD,KEEP, not OLD,DELETE. > *********************************************************************** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. *********************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
