If you create the file with DISP=(NEW,PASS) and reference it in later steps with DISP=(OLD,PASS) you should have no problem. DISP=PASS by itself will always assume you want a new file
Jim Horne -----Original Message----- Without specifying a file (temporary or otherwise) statically in the JCL of a job, how can I create a temporary data record in an earlier step of the job and have it persist and be accessible by all succeeding steps of the job (and then be deleted by the system at the end of the job)? Am I correct in understanding that I cannot dynamically allocate a temporary file with DISP=PASS? ________________________________ NOTICE: All information in and attached to the e-mails below may be proprietary, confidential, privileged and otherwise protected from improper or erroneous disclosure.
