what disp parameter we mention for creation of temporary dataset so that we can use it in later step..

Answer / Anurag Srivastava

The DISP=SHR (Shared) or DISP=(OLD,NEW,DELETE,USR) parameter can be used to create a temporary dataset. The SHR parameter will allow the dataset to be shared across multiple jobs and steps, while the other options will specify how the dataset should be handled when it is no longer needed.
