Description |
|---|---|
Y (Yes) |
Overwrite the existing data set with the new data set if all of the conditions for this parameter have been met (see General Information). |
N (No) |
Do not overwrite the existing data set. This option forces the job to abend if a data set with the specified name already exists. |
P (Permanent) |
Overwrite the existing data set even if it was assigned permanent retention. This option is the same as Y (Yes), but without the condition related to permanent retention (see General Information). |
D (Disp) |
Overwrite the existing data set even if the disposition was New (DISP=NEW). This option is the same as Y (Yes), but without the condition related to DISP=OLD (see General Information). |
A (All) |
Overwrite the existing data set unconditionally. This option is the same as Y (Yes), but without any of the conditions for this parameter being met (see General Information). Warning: Use this option with great caution as it will overwrite all existing data and is unretrievable. |
