Answer / ravindran
The dataset with single & is called Symbolic parameter. The
dataset with double && is called temporary dataset.
The Symbolic parameter gets the value from PROC. The
temporary datasets are created in the job flow and gets
deleted at the end of the job.

symbolic param : which allow multiple users to specify their
own values to a paramaeters(specified as ¶mname in
procedures) in jcl which are commonly used.
temporary data sets : data sets whose life time is till the
execution of the job itself(specified as dsn=&&datasetname
or with out specification of dsn parameter in dd statement)
