The _______ parameter in JCL is used to specify the device type for a dataset allocation.
- DEVICE
- DEVTYPE
- DSNDEVICE
- UNIT
The UNIT parameter in JCL is used to specify the device type for dataset allocation.
In the DD statement, the _______ parameter is used to specify the device type.

You are tasked with writing a JCL job that appends records to an existing data set. Explain how you would use the DISP parameter to achieve this while preserving the existing data.
- DISP=(MOD,CATLG,CATLG)
- DISP=(MOD,KEEP,KEEP)
- DISP=(NEW,KEEP,KEEP)
- DISP=(OLD,KEEP,KEEP)
DISP=(MOD,CATLG,CATLG) allows the job to modify and catalog the existing data set, preserving its contents while appending new records.
