OLD specifies exclusive use of a dataset, SHR allows
multiple jobs to concurrently access the dataset Note: When
updating a dataset, you would normally use OLD.

disp= old ...it will give exclusive use of dataset.
disp= shr....multiple job can use the dataset concurrently..

Answer / anurag
Generally DISP = OLD is used when a Dataset is generated in
a step of job and then subsequently used in the next up
coming steps of the same job ,
DISP=SHR signifies that the dataset is can be shared by the
multiple jobs.
