Correct Option: B,D

What are the correct values for the DSN parameter of a temporary data set?

  1. &NAME&(TEMP)

  2. &&TEMP(NAME)

  3. &&NAME

  4. &NAME


Correct Option: B,C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the format and usage of the DSN parameter for a temporary data set.

The DSN parameter is used to specify the name and characteristics of a data set in a JCL (Job Control Language) statement. Temporary data sets are typically used for temporary storage during the execution of a job and are deleted automatically after the job completes.

Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) &NAME&(TEMP) - This option is incorrect because it does not follow the correct format for a temporary data set. The correct format for specifying a temporary data set is &&TEMP(NAME), where TEMP is the generic name and NAME is the specific name.

Option B) &&TEMP(NAME) - This option is correct because it follows the correct format for a temporary data set. The double ampersand (&&) indicates that it is a temporary data set, TEMP is the generic name, and NAME is the specific name.

Option C) &&NAME - This option is correct because it follows the correct format for a temporary data set. The double ampersand (&&) indicates that it is a temporary data set, and NAME is the specific name.

Option D) &NAME - This option is incorrect because it does not follow the correct format for a temporary data set. The double ampersand (&&) is missing, which indicates that it is not a temporary data set.

The correct answer is Option B and Option C. These options are correct because they follow the correct format for specifying a temporary data set in the DSN parameter.

  1. For both sequential and partitioned datasets to be extended or created.

  2. Only for existing datasets to be extended.

  3. For all secured sequential datasets to be extended.

  4. Only for sequential datasets to be extended or created.


Correct Option: D

Which of the following equations are correct?

  1. DISP=(,PASS) is equivalent to DISP=(NEW,PASS,KEEP)

  2. DISP=(,,KEEP) is equivalent to DISP=(NEW,DELETE,KEEP)

  3. DISP=(,,CATLG) is equivalent to DISP=(OLD,CATLG,CATLG)

  4. DISP=(OLD,,) is equivalent to DISP=(OLD,KEEP,KEEP)


Correct Option: B,D

Indicate the correct answers about the OUTPUT statement?

  1. Multiple OUTPUT statements can be coded for 1 single job step.

  2. The OUTPUT statement can be used to control the authorisation of the submitting user,

  3. The OUTPUT statement at job level must be coded before the JOB statement.

  4. The OUTPUT statement can not override the MSGCLASS parameter on the JOB statement.


Correct Option: A,D
