Your JCL job processes input data, and you need to specify that if the input dataset is not found, the job should still continue without errors. How would you configure the DD statement to handle this situation?
- //INPUT DD DSN=EXISTING.DATA.SET,DISP=(MOD,CATLG,DELETE),SPACE=(CYL,(5,5),RLSE),IF=EXISTS
- //INPUT DD DSN=EXISTING.DATA.SET,DISP=(MOD,CATLG,DELETE),SPACE=(CYL,(5,5),RLSE),IF=NONAME
- //INPUT DD DSN=EXISTING.DATA.SET,DISP=(OLD,DELETE),SPACE=(CYL,(5,5),RLSE),IF=EXISTS
- //INPUT DD DSN=EXISTING.DATA.SET,DISP=(OLD,DELETE),SPACE=(CYL,(5,5),RLSE),IF=NONAME
To handle a situation where the input dataset may not be found, the DD statement uses the IF parameter with EXISTS or NONAME to conditionally process the step without causing errors.
