Hello.
What's the difference between below two JCL statements for PASS disposition.
//DD01 DD DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(NEW,PASS)
AND
//DD01 DD DSN=DEV01.TEST.FILE,DISP=(NEW,PASS)
1) First statement will create SYSJuliandate.XXX dataset & it deleted at the end of job
2) Second statement also creates dataset DEV01.TEST.FILE & it also deleted at the end of job
Then what's advantage of statement-1 over statement-2.
Thanks. |

&&TEMP generates a unique datasetname.
In the second case, if the system decides to choose a volume containing
the named dataset, you will get duplicate dataset name errors.
Or if the named dataset is catalogued. |

This is only true as of z/OS 1.12 |
