Usage

The DISP parameter represents the JCL DISP parameter that is used for data set allocation. If you do not specify a value for the Library parameter, the High-speed Apply Engine ignores the value of the DISP parameter. You can specify one of the following values for the DISP parameter:

  • NEW indicates that the library data set is new. High-speed Apply Engine creates a new data set each time it processes the apply request.
  • OLD indicates that the library data set exists and that it is not a shared data set.
  • SHR indicates that the library data set exists and that it is a shared data set. This value is the default if you specify a value for the Library parameter.
