hey Syed,
Please explain your question in detail, it helps all othere to understand your question and are able to post replies.
Here is what i understood from your question.
You wanted to concatinate GDG versions to a DD statement of JCL.
If that was your question, here in the answer:

//INPTFILE DD DSN=XX.XXX.XX(0),DISP=SHR
// DSN=YY.YYY.YYY(0),DISP=SHR
// ....

Hope i answered your question,
Girish

Hi.....

The JCL for concatenating is as follows.......

//gdgfile dd dsn=ggg.vvv.nn(0), disp=shr
// dsn=ggg.vvv.nn(-1), disp=shr
// dsn=ggg.vvv.nn(-2), disp=shr
// dsn=ggg.vvv.nn(-3), disp=shr

like that we can specity any no of versions which we want to concatenate ok

Hi Sayed,

Concatination can be done by giving multiple datasets under one DD name.

there is a little error in narena's code, I am rectifying it and sending u.

if u have all the versions in the same gdg, there is no need to specify any version..

//gdgfile dd dsn=ggg.vvv.nn, disp=shr

This will concatenate all the versions in the gdg ggg.vvv.nn.

If you need only specific versions then you have to specify the individual versions as rick said.
