DELETE used in that syntax is used for NORMAL termination disposition. If you had coded DISP=(MOD,DELETE,DELETE), then the 2nd DELETE would be for abnormal termination.

I am not sure about the DELETE portion. Does it delete the dataset if the job abends? Or does it delete the updates made to the dataset when the job abends. I was always under the impression that if MOD is coded, the parms after that make not difference. Can somebody please clear up my misconceptions? Thanks in advance. --------------------------------- Share your photos with the people who matter at Yahoo!
