Do you want to create 200 generations of a new GDG or do you want to create one generation of a new GDG

rename them. I believe by virtue of the name, they will be a member of the new gdg base.

expat, am I in error here?

Renaming would be lot quicker then copying!

Of course if they're tapes, rename isn't possible.

Tasks such as this make my head hurt! bonk

If they are DASD, take a look at DFdss and the RENAME or RENAMEUNCONDITIONAL parameters.

As Bill said, if they are tape ........................ Tough luck

If this is a one time thing, start coding JCL for a job with 200 steps. SORT COPY or IEBGENER.

If this will happen regularly, search for REXX examples of generating JCL from a LISTCAT.

If it is urgent you could have done it manually before getting your first response!

If you would actually read the posts, you would have found your answer:

which now means you will have to open a new thread in the rexx forum, since you do not want read anything - there are only about 30 threads about this - and you want everyone to provide you a solution.

Urgent...................oh, pity you!

Perhaps if you would have answered some of the questions asked about your problem then more help would have been available.

So, I ask yet again, are these tape or DASD datasets ? Because, for a second time, if they are DASD then Dfdss will do exactly what it says on the tin, and perform the task in one simple step.

As for urgent, it may be for you but certainly not for me.
