Another trick I use to create a data set conditionally within a single step: //HANDLE DD DISP=(MOD,CATLG),UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=...,DSN=... //SYSUT2 DD DISP=OLD,DSN=*.HANDLE,VOL=REF=*.HANDLE No extra step; no DELETE when I'm just going to create it again with identical attributes. Don't know about JES3 setup. (SYSALLDA? SYSDA? Whatever.)
