Hello, I have a question on GDGs We have a GDG data set GDG.DSNAME.G0001V00 and append data into this data set throughout the day.
We then run a batch job where we do the following: 1. Read GDG.DSNAME(0) 2. Delete GDG.DSNAME(0) as follows //DELETE EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //DD1 DD DSN=GDG.DSNAME(0), // DISP=(OLD,DELETE,DELETE) 3. Allocate a new GDG.DSNAME(+1) as follows: //ALLOC EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=(4,LE) //DD1 DD DSN=ISM.SMF.ZHAD011(+1), // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=3390, // SPACE=(CYL,(50,50)) The ALLOC step actually allocates GDG dataset GDG.DSNAME.G0002V00 Besides changing SMS or running two batch jobs, is there any way to completely delete GDG.DSNAME(0) and allocate GDG.DSNAME(+1) where GDG.DSNAME(+1) will remain with the name GDG.DSNAME.G0001V00 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
