Section 12.22 of the JCL Reference manual tells you how to define and use temporary data set names.

Or

//Step1 exec pgm=dfdfdfdfd
//outxxx DD DSN==&&T1,DISP=(,PASS) etc etc

//STEp2 exec pgm=sdsdsdsd
//inxxx DD DSN=&&T1,DISP=SHR or OLD
Key here is the DISP=(,PASS)

Hello,

DISP=SHR should not be used for temporary datasets. . . .

All this does is generate confusion. . .
