Answer / natrajboga
there is no specific I/P and O/P data set options
the data set options are classified as
Data set control options
Variable control options
Observation control options
miscellaneous options
and etc....
data set options take the action in which it appear .
it means If you apply to the output data set then data set
options take the action while writing to the data set
and If you specify with the I/P data set then data set
options takes the action while processing.
