Note: This fix for this item required a change to rerun behavior, as follows:
 
Prior to this change, if a dataset in a job step was referenced with a disposition of OLD,DELETE, the job was searched for other step(s) which referenced the same dataset with a disposition other than OLD,DELETE. If a step was found, the initial step was marked as being dependent on the subsequent step. This could result in a job step which was marked as dependent on a later step, which is not intuitive.
 
After this change, we no longer check for dataset references which occur in later steps, resolving the issue above.
 
However, if a step in a job references a dataset with OLD,DELETE (effectively deleting it) and a later step (re)creates the dataset (using a disposition of NEW or MOD), the later step could be considered to be dependent on the earlier step. This is a condition we no longer report as step dependency.
 
To preserve the dependency for steps whose only purpose is to delete a dataset, is to using a disposition of MOD,DELETE instead of OLD,DELETE.
