Superc is not a good choice because i want to run it through JCL or through a cobol pgm

Why can't you use SUPERC in batch mode thru JCL ?

Thank you

Hi,
There is a JCL which creates a Temporary dataset. As well all know that after JCL execution gets completed, the dataset gets deleted. I want to know,What will happen if that JCL gets abended in step after creating the temporary dataset. Will the temporary dataset is deleted r not.
