A GDS can be a PDSE2. However, there is no way to specify in JCL a combination of relative generation, member name and member generation.

I believe I recall correctly that a GDG may contain a PDS. May it contain a PDSE Version 2? So you could have member generations within PDSE generations? Whee!!! A PDS version within a GDG would be DSN=PDS.NAME(-n) . I am going to guess there is no JCL syntax for a member (never mind member generations!) within a back-generation PDS(E). I think that perhaps overloading the datasetname(qualifier) JCL syntax was a bad idea. Charles On Tue, 27 Jun 2023 13:41:46 +0000, Seymour J Metz <sme...@gmu.edu> wrote: >RFE?
