In such case first time a new folder/file will be created and if succesful completion of programme is there then that program will be passed otherwise the JCL program will be catalogue, in this case.

A new dataset will be created first . For successful execution of the program the dataset will be passed to next step in the Job . For unsuccessful execution of the program the dataset will be cataloged

For the 1st time if the job execute successful then data set will be created and then passed to the next step. If the job abbends then it will catalog.
For the 2nd execution it will show that duplicate data set name.

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.

Almost correct.

DISP=(NEW,PASS,CATLG),
The results depend on the data set not the run.
If the data set currently exists, it would then depend on where it was being allocated. If the allocation was to the same dasd as the current one, you would get a jcl error. If it were being allocated to a different dasd, your job could run. If the step runs sucessfully, the data set disposition would be determined by subsequent steps with the default being delete. If the step abends, the data set would be cataloged unless there was a previously cataloged data set by that name in which case it would be kept and you would get a not catlg 2.

DISP(NEW,Suc,Unsuc)

Suc - > when the job runs succesfully, the file will take the status that is mentioned here
Unsuc-> when the job failes, the file will take the status that is mentioned here

When you have more number of steps in a job then the file is moved on to next step.

DISP= (new, pass, catlg)

if we look at the parameter 'PASS' per se, its used for temp datasets, so the dataset wont be retained after the job completes fine.

So now we have two scenerios here.

1. First run completes fine.
2. first run is abend.

1. First run completes fine: in this case the dataset would not be retained after the job completion, therefore the second run would not be a problem.

2. First run is abend: in this case since our last parameter says 'CATLG', it would be present and therefore, second run the same job will give problems.  So in this case we need to either change the disposition or delete the dataset before the second run.

suggestions welcome !!
