I don't know if it's different for dynamic allocation, but in JCL if you don't specify any disp, the default is (new,delete) From the JCL manual: <quote> If you omit the status subparameter, the default is NEW. If you omit the normal termination disposition subparameter, the default is DELETE for a NEW data set or KEEP for an existing data set. If you omit the abnormal termination disposition subparameter, the default is the disposition specified or implied by the second subparameter. However, if the second subparameter specified PASS, the default abnormal termination disposition is DELETE for a NEW data set or KEEP for an existing data set. If you omit the DISP parameter, the default is a NEW data set with a disposition of DELETE for both normal and abnormal termination disposition. Thus, you can omit the DISP parameter for a data set that is created and deleted during a step. </quote> -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
