RE: DISP Parameter
 
In each run first run of JOB, if the JOB abends the data set will be cataloged and in second run it will give JCP ERROR ( Data set already cataloged). While if in the first run JOB ,it runs successfully data set will be created temporarily to be used by another steps in the same JOB but at the end of the JOB data set will not be there, because it is not cataloged.
