I don't understand the error that I'm getting from BPXWDYN when I try to allocate an existing dataset whic is the current/latest generation of an existing GDG.
rc = bpxwdyn("alloc fi(SYS00011) reuse msg(2) da(HLQ.MY.GDG(0)) shr") IKJ56871I DATA SET HLQ.MY.GDG NOT ALLOCATED, RELATIVE GENERATION NUMBER INCOMPATIBLE FOR SPECIFIED STATUS rc=60030976 ( BPXWDYN allocation failed S99ERROR=0x0394 S99INFO=0x0000 ) I may be missing something obvious, but it seems to me that the status (DISP=SHR) should be compatible with a relative reference of 0. Thanks for any help.
