> Is there a way to have a GDG base with date time stamp ? Peter,
Not sure what this would accomplish. If you have the timestamp in the base name, all the generations despite its creation date will all have the same name with different generation names. For example if you created a GDG Base with (YEAR =2022 MONTH = 01 DAY = 05 HOUR =08 MINUTE =19 SECOND =03) USERID01.Y2022.M01.D05.H08.M19.S03 Now if a new generation is created it would just have .G0001V00 at the end but it would still have same base time stamp. i.e USERID01.Y2022.M01.D05.H08.M19.S03.G0001V00 Even if a generation is created 10 days later or an an year later it would still have the same base time stamp. USERID01.Y2022.M01.D05.H08.M19.S03.G0021V00 The only way out of this is to create a base and generation at the same time and it will just have 1 version which makes the whole point of using GDG's useless. You are better off creating individual datasets with a date timestamp.
