How can we see data in TEMPARARY DATA SET in JCL ?

Answer Posted / praveen bejjanki

Some info regarding Temporary dataset:
1) They start with '&&'
2) They can be a maximum of 8char's, The first character
should be a Alphabet or National character remaining char's
can be numeric also.
3) These dataset's will usually have the disp parm
as 'Pass' Which indicates that the dataset is passed to the
subsequent steps in the jcl. But at the end of the jcl the
dataset will be deleted.
So, It's impossible to view the data in Temporary dataset.

@All: Correct me if i'm wrong.
