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!!

DISP=(MOD,DELETE,DELETE)
The current status of the dataset is MOD i.e. Append data to the file if it already exists and create new if it dosen't.
On normal disposition i.e. successful execution of job the dataset is deleted.
On Abnormal disposition i.e. in case of job abend, the dataset is deleted.
