A daily job runs and a GDG generation is created every day.On the last day of the month, the job should rerun with all the generations created , by concatenating to a single GDG generation.Can anyone suggest how to automate this so that end of month job runs with all the input files that are succesfully created by daily job. Thank in advance.

Hi,

You can create a monthly job that will do the work for you.

For concatinating GDG versions in the monthly job,

1)if u have all the versions in the same gdg, there is no need to specify any version..

//gdgfile dd dsn=ggg.vvv.nn, disp=shr

This will concatenate all the versions in the gdg ggg.vvv.nn.

2)If you need only specific versions then you have to specify the individual versions.

//gdgfile dd dsn=ggg.vvv.nn(0), disp=shr
// DD dsn=ggg.vvv.nn(-1), disp=shr
// DD dsn=ggg.vvv.nn(-2), disp=shr
// DD dsn=ggg.vvv.nn(-3), disp=shr

i think this will do

Versions and GENERATIONs are not the same thing!!!

However, ssk1711 is correct - just specify the gdg base and ALL generations cataloged will be concatenated together. You will have to uncat/delete after processing so that each month starts at G0001V00.
