Hi,
Can anybody help.
I have a requirement to create GDG Base from a REXX Exec.

You create GDG using IDCAMS' DEFINE GENERATIONDATAGROUP command. IDCAMS commands can be invoked from within REXX as a TSO command (ADDRESS TSO).

Hi,

if I have to create 'n' GDG bases at a time ... is there any other way for that...

Hello,

Yes. Repeat the code/process as many times as is necessary.

And if they are based on existing GDG bases and need to be renamed, search the forum where I posted the REXX code to build new GDG bases from existing ones.
