Does it delete the dataset if the job abends? Or does it delete the
updates made to the dataset when the job abends.
It's *dataset* disposition. There is no parameter to discard just your
updates.
Also, there are two dataset disposition fields -- normal and abnormal.
The one that you specified is normal. If you want to specify what happens
in an abend scenario, you need to code a second one.
e.g. DISP=(MOD,KEEP,DELETE)

Is the following correct : DISP=(MOD,DELETE). 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.
