HI guys,
I have a piece of code deleting files based on naming pattern

Code:
//DMS.SYSIN DD  *
 FIND DSNAME=EHLT.EC.TRAN.!KTEC!FILE         ** !=SELECT VARIABLE
  DELETE
/*


we also have few GDG created whose generations are also deleted by the JCL since it matches the pattern

EHLT.EC.TRAN.KTECBJ00.IFILE1.GDG
any idea on how I can make change the above code to it skips the GDG but continues to delete other file.

Remove the JCL statements that reference the generation data sets. (You said that they were being deleted by JCL and not by whatever utility you are running.)

the below is the input to my delete utility

FIND DSNAME=EHLT.EC.TRAN.!KTEC!FILE ** !=SELECT VARIABLE
DELETE

we have files such as
EHLT.EC.TRAN.KTECBJ00.IFILE1.GDG
EHLT.EC.TRAN.KTECBJ00.IFILE1


the above FIND is picking both the layout, any idea on skipping the GDG one but picking the regular one without the GDG

Your question has nothing to do with "JCL & VSAM" topics.
