G'day. If you are acessing the new file in the same JCL, the DD statement should look like: DUMPIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PCYC.TMVHSTM.TMVS04.IRR(+1).
If it's in another jcl then: DUMPIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=PCYC.TMVHSTM.TMVS04.IRR(+0). To access a one the previous generations then use (-1) or (-2) or (-3) or (-4). A minus 5 is invalid as you only have 5 generations and the most current starts off a 0.

It's some thing but I just can't see the problem." I WOULD ADD however that your DD statement above is valid if the GDG has associated data sets. Simply coding the base entry name on a DD statement is a means of processing ALL the generations of a GDG without resorting to concatenated DD statements for each generation.
