I'm pretty sure I can do this, but I'm looking for a second opinion (and "you're ugly, too" as my coworker said doesn't count <grin>).
I have the assistance of a job scheduler which can substitute variables in JCL to help with this idea, so bear that in mind. I want to create twelve GDGs, prefix.whatever.JAN, prefix.whatever.FEB and so forth. Then, instead of creating prefix.whatever.JAN(+1) I want to create prefix.whatever.JAN.G(day-of-month-with-leading-zeroes)V00 with DISP=(NEW,CATLG). In essence one generation per day of month, with missing generations if we don't run that day (state holiday or whatever). Then I want to be able to read prefix.whatever.JAN as the complete set, as you can do with GDGs. Are there any holes in this theory that I'm overlooking?
