I have a requirement where I need to create no of GDG files based on the data in the input file.
for example - if the input file contains 1000 records then I need to create 10 GDG's containing 100 recs each. If the input file contains 1500 recs then I need to create 15 GDG's.

do you mean you are going to create 10 (15) new generations of one base GDG, or 10 (15) +1 generations of 10 (15) different base GDG names?
Assuming you want to add generations to a single GDG base, I suspect this may be rather more challenging than you realize since the system does an exclusive enqueue on the GDG base name when you create a new generation of a GDG; I don't know if the system recognizes you already have the enqueue when you attempt to dynamically create the second generation.

Hello,
Suggest you consider writing code that will read the "driver" file and generate a multiple jobs to be submitted thru the internal reader to be executed serially - one job submitting the next to maintain order.
