Hi All,

I have a GDG which can hold 30 versions. My requirement is to take backup of all GDG versions "which are created in previous month" into one single PS file.

How to do it using any of the Batch utilities?. Rolling Eyes

Please note:
I searched through the forum and didn't got appropriate answer. Sad

Thanks in advance,
Srini.

The solution shown in the link above uses FILEAID which is a purchasable product, and NOT every shop has it installed.

The idea is good, but even better if you use IEBGENER instead of FILEAID, as IEBGENER is installed as default on z/OS.

Yes, you can use IEBGENER in the place of FILEAID.
