i would think this question would elicit better responses in the UTILITIES forum.

but, before you post another thread, why don't you think about your question. What is a GDG base? once you understand that, you may want to rephrase your question.

Hi,
do you mean how to copy all GDG's without specifying each generation dataset ?

If so , just specify a.b.c instead of a.b.c(0) a.b.c(-1) etc.

You can use any utility you like to perform the copy.

Gerry,

no, it was not a trick question ( ok, well, sorta).

My first response to the OP was due to his wording. (yeah, I am a nit picker. I have trouble second guessing questions that do not use common, acceptable jargon. - miss-use of words).

My response to you was based on the fact that unless you individually copy'ed each generation, you would end up with only one output file. That would not be a 'pure copy'. But, then we really do not know what the OP wants.

Hi Dick,
yes I was trying to second guess the OP requirement which can have many answers.

I take your point.
