I could not find a way for IEBDG to create the first record with 100000001 in the first 9 bytes, then the next rec with 100000009, then 100000017, etc. In addition, I could not see any use of the time generation. I have used IEBDG only a few times in my life for simple things, so I am far from an expert - if someone has some good examples (the ones in the manual are - ahem - not very extensive), please share them!
Kolusu, thanks for helping with this, and especially with the time value. This is quite intriguing!
