Hi suneel,
KEEP --> This indicates that the dataset is to be retained or kept upon successful execution of the job. If it is used with a temporary dataset the system automatically changes it to PASS
CATLG --> It is used to specify that the data set is to be retained and recorded in the system catalogs after successfull job termination.
DELETE--> It indicates that the dataset being referenced is to be deleted after successful termination of the job.
If it is specified in tapedata set which has a retention period or exp date subsequent to the current date then it is deleted only after the retention period on the tape..
hope got it... |

HI khamarutheen,
1. For KEEP you are saying that 'the dataset is to be retained or kept'.
May i know where exactly that dataset is kept that means where exactly it stores?
2. May i know what is system catalogs?
Please suggest me. |

KEEP means it stores on the system buffer memmory.... and retained laterly

System catalogs means for example u take a rack where v store a books in order.. like that system itself stores all the files in the memory in that way.. uncataloged is like book on table and cataloged is like on the rack.. |

For Keep, next time if u want to access the dataset, it has to accessed by volume serial number, not by name. |

Hi khamarutheen,
Thanks for ur reply.
still i have doubt in KEEP. You are saying that if we use KEEP for a particular dataset that will be stored in system buffer memory. Say for example iam creating one dataset with (NEW,KEEP,DELETE) and job has successfully terminated.
That means the dataset is created with KEEP. So now my question is 'Is it possible to access same dataset from some other job? If so is it enough to give DISP as OLD or SHR in next job?' |

If successfull it will keep else it will delete.. b clear in that..

Since it is not cataloged u can use OLD with VOL parameter..
SHR allows for multiple jobs to read the same data set. so it's up to u to choose either OLD or SHR... |

Hi,
Now i got the difference. I have one more doubt.
Suppose i created a dataset with CATLG, later i uncataloged same dataset with UNCATLG. So it mean that the data in the dataset is not deleted. So how to view that data in that dataset? |
