Hi all,

I want to copy the last 10 generations of a GDG (which has
250 generations in it) without mentioning them in DD DSN
i.e.
I don't want to mention like
Code:

//SYSUT1 DD DSN=PC1.COMMERCIAL.STATFILE(0),DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=PC1.COMMERCIAL.STATFILE(-1),DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=PC1.COMMERCIAL.STATFILE(-2),DISP=SHR
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
// DD DSN=PC1.COMMERCIAL.STATFILE(-9),DISP=SHR


I want to copy without mentioning individual generations
as concatenating datasets.

Is there a way to code so as to get the above result
without including the list of generations as Concatenating
datasets.

I think that to copy a range of gdg you can use 3 methods:
1) with the base entry(the root) to copy all the versions;
2) with your method as above;
3) with full qualify of gdg level as G0001V00 etc.

Hi,
I think MGIndaco is correct. You can not code the concatenation GDG file for a specific no. Either you have to go for individual referrence or by giving the version.
