Yes, DISP=NEW fails if the PDS already exists. Even if nonexistent member is
specified.
I'm assuming that what you mean to say is the following

Chris,
You used many words, citations, quotations, etc. but IMHO you should
just say "I was wrong".
I really don't care what's in the manual, what somebody said, etc. DISP
in JCL is always for dataset, not the member, DISP=NEW always end with
JCL error when PDS(E) exist, and it it completely irrelevant whether you
specify member name or not or specified member exists or not.
The only (not mentioned) case when DISP=NEW works (does not cause error)
for existing dataset is ...
(I think it wasn't mentioned here yet)
GDG.
GDG dataset with "deferred roll in" (proper name can be slightly
different, wrote from my poor memory) is simply rolled it when DISP=NEW
is used. But it is very specific case, which precludes usage of PDSE and
membername of PDS. And was (no longer is) unsupported by IBM for PDS.
I want the discussion to stay technical one, not - let's say -
political, like USS meaning or Toronto airports.
