docs/user-guide/configuring-zowe-via-jcl.md

+
+This takes the configuration values present in your `zowe.yaml` file, uses them to populate JCL templates in `SZWESAMP`, and creates a `JCLLIB` dataset with the final generated JCL. The `JCLLIB` will be created using the value of `zowe.setup.dataset.jcllib`. 
+
+For example, `zwe init generate` with the below zowe.yaml creates the dataset `MY.DS.PREFIX.JCLLIB`. If this dataset already exists, you must add `--allow-overwrite` to the `init generate` command.


If this dataset already exists, you must add --allow-overwrite to the init generate command.

Nope, this dataset is always deleted and created by ZWEGEN00.
