Please rephrase your question by using appropriate commas and fullstops so that normal people like us can understand your question.

Well what i understand from your question is : The output created in step1 should be used as an input in step2. So give the disposition as SHR for the step2 input file(which got created in step1).

If you need the first step's output which goes as input for second step is needed even after the execution of the job, code DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE) and supply the same as input for second or if it is not needed you can as well code a temp data set prefixing with &&. ad
