I want to Extract the GDG's which were created ON current date

GDG LIMIT= 255

LRECL = 80

Type = FB

Req: I have to copy all of the generations which were created on current date to a single QSAM dataset.

I don't think it can be done using DFSORT. You need some programing language to do this.

The easiest way to do this is to copy using the GDG base to the QSAM dataset, then have an IDCAMS step that removes all generations from the GDG. Each day you start with no generations.

If there is some reason you cannot delete the generations, you have a major problem since there's no easy automated way to tell which generations of a GDG were created on the current date.

lohithegde,

The following DFSORT JCL will copy only the current day gdg's into a single file. If there are no generations created today the jobs ends with a return code of 4.The job uses DFSORT's new WHEN=GROUP functions available with z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90013 (July, 2008).

If you don't have z/OS DFSORT PTF UK90013, ask your System Programmer to install it (it's free).

For complete details on the new functions available with PTF UK90013, see:

Use [URL] BBCode for External Links


step0100 gets the listcat info for the GDG base in question
step0200 builds the sortin dd names based on the creation date from the list cat info.

the sample output from this step would be

Code:

//SORTIN   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TIDXXX.GDG.TEST.G0006V00
//         DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TIDXXX.GDG.TEST.G0007V00


Step0300 submits the job via intrdr to copy the current day generations

Look at the sysout from step0300 and see if the generated JCL is good and then change the following statement in step0300
Code:

//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                         


to
Code:

//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)                         


Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01                                   
//SYSTSPRT DD DSN=&&L,
