Hi,

Anyone can let me know how to find which are the generations which have any data in them via executing a utility/JCL ?
Any other method using File Aid foreground is ok as well.

There are too many of these generations to manually sift through one by one so am looking for an easier way.

Thanks,
vini

vini,

1. Run LISTCAT to get GDG generation names
2. Build Dynamic JCL with each GDG printing/stopping after 1 record using IDCAMS or DFSORT.

check the following smart DFSORT tricks to get an idea of how it can be done
