The DISP=SHR in JCL means that the file is already existing and that it is not exclusively locked for your own use. Other user can still access this file. And the EXTEND in the COBOL program means that, when you open the file, the record pointer will be positioned on the last row of the record and every insert you'll make will be appended on the last position of the file.

Second part of your answer seems satisfactory. You should have asked the interviewer for what we need to analyze, if its just for document purpose, then your answer is right. If its for a change, then there are specific areas we need to analyze for the changes impact.
