Temporary Dataset in JCL

HI,

Can we create a temporary datasets with the same name in two different DD statements in a single JCL?

I answered, No. We can passed the Temporary dataset to some other DD statement, otherwise we can create the Temporary dataset in two different names.

Please correct me, If im wrong

Thanks in Advance

Hi Sambhaji,

REFERBACK is used to refer the disp, space, unit, vol, DCB parameters only.
I think we cannot able to REFERBACK the DSName.

Reading the manual it looks like you can, provided they are not created in the same second of time, since hhmmss is part of the assigned DSN.

Only user unnamed temp datasets are assured to be uniquely named because of a unique 5 digit number appended to the system assigned name.
