Hi,

DISP=SHR
-------------

Indicates that the data set existed prior to this job step and that
another job can share it while this job step uses it.

DISP=OLD
------------

Indicates that the data set existed before this step started and that
this step needs exclusive (non-shared) usage of the data set.

Thanks
Ajith.
