Hai All,

I have created a GDG base with limit as 3 generations and i have a jcl in which i am coping a input dataset to three generations in three steps .But the problem i having is i am getting the generations as 2,3,4 but i want it as 1,2,3.How can that be achieved?

JCL

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=SHEKAR.TEST.INPUT,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=SHEKAR.WORK.GDG(+1),DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG),
// VOL=(,,,99),UNIT=(SYSDA,8),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80),SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//*
//STEP0200 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=SHEKAR.TEST.INPUT,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=SHEKAR.WORK.GDG(+2),DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG),
// VOL=(,,,99),UNIT=(SYSDA,8),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80),SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//*
//STEP0300 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=SHEKAR.TEST.INPUT,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=SHEKAR.WORK.GDG(+3),DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG),
// VOL=(,,,99),UNIT=(SYSDA,8),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80),SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//

OUTPUT GDG NUMBERS

Code:

SHEKAR.WORK.GDG
SHEKAR.WORK.GDG.G0002V00
SHEKAR.WORK.GDG.G0003V00
SHEKAR.WORK.GDG.G0004V00

DESIRED OUTPUT GDG NUMBERS

Code:

SHEKAR.WORK.GDG
SHEKAR.WORK.GDG.G0001V00
SHEKAR.WORK.GDG.G0002V00
SHEKAR.WORK.GDG.G0003V00

Shekar, it works fine for me. Are you sure generation 1 did not exist prior to your job?

Mervyn,

I did not delete the number one generation dataset which was existing earlier and i deleted 2,3 and 4 and when i ran the job , i got the generations back to 2,3 and 4.So i deleted all the generations and ran the job which gave me correct generations 1,2 and 3.Thanks.

Put in the GDG generation in front of your dtat generation job, and show us the output. Of course to test this out you will have to delete your previous GDG base cluster
