Answer / wairagade
Sometimes in job, datasets needs to be deleted as per
application requirements but we are not sure that the
dataset is been cataloged or not . so the first step will
be using IEFBR14 utility mentioned those datasets which
needs to be deleted with DISP mentioned in Q . If the
dataset is not cataloged then system will cataloged it
first and delete it . It will avoid JCL error. Your
thoughts on this!!

On Abnormal disposition i.e. in case of job abend, the dataset is deleted.
