What does the manual say:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2B650/12.19?DT=20040712170508
The format is DISP=(status,normal-termination,abnormal-termination)
| Quote: |
If you omit the status parameter, the default is NEW.
If you omit the normal-termination parameter, the default is DELETE for a NEW dataset or KEEP for an existing dataset.
If you omit the abnormal-termination parameter, the default is the same as specified for the normal-termination parameter.
If you omit DISP altogether, the default is NEW,DELETE,DELETE.
|
In your case:
DISP=(,,KEEP) is the same as DISP=(NEW,DELETE,KEEP)
DISP=(,KEEP) is the same as DISP=(NEW,KEEP,KEEP) |

Just additional information for KEEP parameter:
We need to supply volume serial no. VOL=SER=ABCD when we need to access file that had disposition of KEEP ! |

SUPERK is correct...
By Default Values would be like...
DISP=(,,KEEP) DISP=(NEW,DELETE,KEEP)
DISP=(,KEEP) DISP=(NEW,KEEP,KEEP)

Yes Superk is Right.It depends on the first parameter.
If status is New then it is New delete keep for disp=(,,keep)
Old then Old delete keep
New,keep,delete
Old,keep,Delete For disp=(,keep)
Correct if i am wrong
Thanks

Hi..
I am not sure even, I want some to confirm that Disp = (New, Delete, Delete) is correct one. Could anyone please come up with explanation and cover it up.
There is no doubt the default one is New but is it any chance it can be old for keep for normal or abnormal termination |

It is New,Delete,Keep.
Ref: 12.23.2 Defaults
If you omit the status subparameter, the default is NEW.
If you omit the normal termination disposition subparameter, the default is DELETE for a NEW data set or KEEP for an existing data set.
If you omit the abnormal termination disposition subparameter, the default is the disposition specified or implied by the second subparameter. However, if the second subparameter specified PASS, the default abnormal termination disposition is DELETE for a NEW data set or KEEP for an existing data set.
If you omit the DISP parameter, the default is a NEW data set with a disposition of DELETE for both normal and abnormal termination disposition. Thus, you can omit the DISP parameter for a data set that is created and deleted during a step. |
