You have a JCL job that uses a cataloged data set, and it needs to be processed by multiple job steps. Explain how the cataloged status benefits this scenario.
- Allows concurrent access to the cataloged data set by multiple job steps
- Ensures exclusive access to the cataloged data set by a single job step
- Increases the likelihood of data corruption in cataloged data sets
- Reduces processing time for cataloged data sets compared to uncataloged
The cataloged status enables concurrent access, enhancing job efficiency by eliminating data set contention among multiple job steps.
