Hi All,
Good morning...
I have a question on GDG datasets..if you know the aswer, pls respond
Job is having three steps:
Step1: Creates the GDG version 1..i.e. (+1)
Step2: uses the version +1 created at step1 and creates new version +2
Step3: Uses the version +2.
Now the question is, if my job abends at the step2, are versions updated as they are updated when the job ends successfully??, like ... the recent version is numbered as 0 at the successfull end of the job.
Thanks and regards
Venkat |

Yes, if your job abends in step2 then your first version(+1) will still be catalogued and the availability of version(+2) depends on why the job abended in step 2.
If you restart the step from step2 then refer to the version created in step 1 as version(0) .

Did a Search and got this
| Quote: |
| The datasets CAN be cataloged even if the job abends, provided that the job abends AFTER the the step that created the GDG dataset completes SUCCESSFULLY and the DISP was coded appropriately. |

GDG generation and Version will be updated as soon as JOB Completes. ROLLING IN(Keeping New Version) of GDG depends on when Job was ABEND. As your question, +1 version will be updated(ROLLED IN), and If +2 version is created and used, then then this also will be updated(ROLLED IN).
When you are resubmitting Job next time Refer (+1) version as (-1) and If you wanna refer (+2) version then refer as (+0). If you don't wanna refer +2 version then delete it and again refer (+1) version as (+0).
And RESTART your Job from STEP2.
But I am clear picture of your question

Hi,
If ur job abends in STEP2, Step1 version becomes current version (i.e. 0) for future reference if u have not coded proper DISP in STEP2 to catalog dataset in case of abend.
If u have coded proper DISP in STEP2 to catalog dataset even in case of abend, STEP2 Version becomes current version (0) and STEP1 version becomes 1st previous version (-1).

NO, it does not, it depends on the DISP parameters coded in the JCL. |

Yes, I agree it also depends on the DISP parameters coded in the JCL. Missed mentioning in my earlier post. |
