Hi all!
How to create a temporary data set in the first step and use this in the second step?
Thanks

(Sorry for my grammar if i'm wrong)

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

Thank you!

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. . .
