Hi,

Either you can go with File master or File -Aid Utlities which would invoke
IDCAMS in batch or could directly code the IDCAMS in JCL as the pgm for creating the GDG base.

The IDCAMS command is 'DEF GDG'.

Here are some standard JCL for defining, modifying, or deleting GDGs.

The 1st control card will delete a GDG.
The 2nd control card will define a GDG.
The 3rd control card will modify an existing GDG for a different number of versions.
