Hi,
The following question is asked in one interview.

We have one step in which one input file is used. The File has 3 field. We need to add one more field b/w 2nd and 3rd field in input. What is the Disp parameter will be given for input file?

Note: Both the i/p and o/p file is same

I told like DISP=OLD. don't know exactly. Just want to check with you guys.

I've got to admit that I really don't understand the question, but as an input file the only realistic option is SHR.
