How do I delete the generations of a GDG without deleting the base. Could anyone please help me to solve this issue by providing a sample job?
Regards,
Minu. |

| You need IDCAMs to delete the base, simple deletes will not delete the base.... |

| If you use the GDG base name in IEFBR14 then the generations get deleted but the base remains |

| This has to be executed as a daily job which will delete the previous day's file for the following night's batch run. |

Minu,
Deletion of gens had been already answered by 'cics guy' and expat.

Just wanted to know, what kind of data does your gens have. I really dint get why have created a gdg for holding one gen at any point of time? You could have gone for simple flat file instead. |

Hello,

One of the main reasons (if not the main reason) for having gdg's is so that some number of previous files will be available.
Is there some reason to delete "yesterday's" file rather than simply letting it "roll off" naturally? |

Hi,
If above is the requirement, why don't use a QSAM file with default DISP parametes... |
