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

Yes...I want to create 200 generations of the new GDG

dbzTHEdinosauer · Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 9:16 am Post subject:

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?

i dont think its a appt solution....even if i am going to rename it the process will be too long for the 200 versions.

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!
