AFAIK For a temp dataset, 'DISP=OLD' has always meant
'DISP=(OLD,DELETE)' ... going back to the 80's. If the dset is to be

specify 'DISP=(OLD,PASS)' in all subsequent steps that reference it -
apart from the last. But IBM might have changed all that. <g>

DISP=(OLD,PASS) because of the previous DISP=(NEW,PASS) implies delete
when done.

There's been no. of posting on it ..so i best tried to go through most of them
..and I thought to explain very basic of JCL AFIK.
Step1 : showing DISP=(NEW,PASS,DELETE) So basically the dataset is being
created,passed to be processed in subsequent steps ...HOWEVER not being catalog
so after processing MVS is suppose to delete it...
Step2 : DISP=OLD ...Just telling program to have EXCLUSIVE hold on the dataset
while processing so again as per the step1 dataset is suppose to be deleted...
This is so simple as it is ...
Now coming to STEP3:- where it show jcl error is obvious as
