We have a Cobol program. suppose ther is an input file and the file is opened in input mode ,what will be the Disp parameter in JCl.
Similarly if the file is opened in output mode ,what will be the disp parameter?
If it is opened in Extend mode ,the disp parameter in JCL should be ---
If the file is opened in I-O mode ,what will be the disp parameter?
Please can anyone clear my doubt as I am very much confused with it. |

Suvendu,
Firstly we need to understand how many SUBPARAMETERS are available for DISP parameters.... and that can be referred from the manuals...

If file is opened in INPUT Mode... corresponding DISP parm would be either SHR/OLD.

Either it should be NEW or MOD/OLD... but it shouldn't be SHR.

A file is opened in EXTEND mode, when you want to append the data in the file keeping present data safe. So DISP can be OLD/MOD... but can't be NEW.

MOD/OLD
