Create GDG base and use that in your job. It will create a new file each time.

maram_mahinder,

If your intention is to take backups, then go for GDG. You will not end up in "Duplicate Dataset Exists" - JCL error.

Instead, if you need a flat file for temporary purpose (Work File), then use the Temporary dataset option provided by JCL.

Code:

//FILE1  DD  DSN=&&TEMP1,DISP=(,PASS)


You will not end up in Duplicate - error, at the same time, your work file will be deleted upon completion of the job.

The third option is to use, Date & Time in your dataset name itself. For that, follow the link provided by kolusu,

Thanks,
Phantom
