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: [email protected] >Subject: Re: 'ALLOCATE' a data set in my TSO/E session > >Lizette, the default DISP for existing datasets is OLD,KEEP, not OLD,DELETE. > _ This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
