Answer / guest
Temporary datasets can be created either by not specifying
any DSNAME or by specifying the temporary file indicator as
in DSN=&&TEMP. We use them to carry the output of one step
to another step in the same job. The dataset will not be
retained once the job completes.

If you want to use the Temp Data set in the subsequent
steps then you should give the Disposion Pass.
