| IF I SPECIFY DISP=(NEW,CATLOG) then dataset will be created and also cataloged. But I want to know We don't specify KEEP in DISP Parameter then will it keep record or catalog entry only? |

Hello,
You do not want to use NEW,KEEP when creating a dasd dataset. You typically do not want to use that even for a tape file (one exception being when you are writing on media that is not part of your inventory - say to mail back to another processing center).
Many sites have standards or a "reader exit" that will not permit the use of NEW,KEEP for dasd datasets. While JCL may permit this, it is best to know that you might get this to run, but it is not a good way to implement. |

| I am asking that if I specify DISP=(NEW,CATLOG,DELETE) then that dataset will reside on DASD or there will be put only catalog entry? |

Hello,
If you specify (NEW,CATLG,DELETE) for a dasd dataset, the dataset will be created on disk and an entry will be made in the catalog.
Your follow-up post does not really match your initial post.

When posting a question, care needs to be taken to ensure that what you want to ask is clear to those who read your post. |

You need to look at the JCL manual, the second disposition is what to do with the dataset if the step completes normally, the third is what to do with the dataset if the step abends. A disposition CATALG means the dataset will be cataloged and the data will be kept. |

Which fundemental basics or manuals? Looking things up in the manual takes at least some knowledge which in many case seems to be lacking. |

| In the top menue one can read the manuals about JCL. In this case TS knows his question is about DISP so it's just a matter of searching for DISP in the manual. |
