It is a generic term used to reference a Disk device as opposed to a Tape device.

RE: What is sysda?
when we give UNIT SYSDA then there is no need to mention volume for the dataset. we use this when we want to create a temporary dataset for testing purpose and allocates volume randomly and deallocates after the JCL execution.

RE: What is sysda?

As already said by people its a UNIT parameter.

SYSDA UNIT other possible value is TEMP.

UNIT parameter basically tells where exactly on a volume you are storing your data set and when you specify UNIT SYSDA it means you are storing on permanent storage there.

When you specify UNIT TEMP it means its a temporary storage on your volume where you are storing the dataset.
