Using DDGEN
with the DISP
Parameter
The DDGEN configuration option specifies when a dataset version is to
be deleted based on the DISP parameter.
MOD Specifies that new data is to be
added/appended to an existing tape
version. If using a disk version, the
existing data will be overwritten. For
both tape and disk, if there is no existing
version, a new version will be created.
When used for tape, MOD removes the
existing end-of-file (EOF) marker and
writes new data beginning at that point.
A new EOF will be created when the
dataset is closed.
When used for disk, MOD reuses the
extents used in the last/most recent
version. This destroys any existing data.
Note: MOD can be specified only for
non-generation disk datasets.
!
WARNING:
MOD does not extend an existing disk
dataset as it does for tape or as it does in
MVS. If MOD is specified for an existing
disk dataset that is opened as output, the
same extent is used but records are
written at the beginning of the dataset.
Any data already in the dataset is
overwritten and lost.
NEW Specifies a new dataset or a new version
of an existing dataset.
OLD Specifies a version of an existing dataset.
PASS Retains the version for use in a later step
in the same job.
SHR Specifies an existing dataset. Data in the
dataset will be appended if tapes are used
or overwritten if disks are used. Use
KEEP and CATLG to retain the dataset
if the job cancels via an abnormal
termination. The default disposition for
abnormal termination depends on both
the normal termination subparameter and
the PURBYP configuration option.
