Hello
I need help in creating a Rexx program. I am working in a migration project. After we have successfully migrated to new region we need to delete older generations of gdgs present in old region and keep only latest 7 generations.
I have a PS file which has list of 1GDG base eg MY.GDG.TEST. Its limit is 10 and has 10gens
I want to take this PS as input to get the limit of GDG and then create an output file which will have list of latest 3 generations ignoring the latest 7 gens.
So wrt to limit, the output will change for each gdg file.
Required output
MY.GDG.TEST.G1
MY.GDG.TEST.G2
MY.GDG.TEST.G3
With the above output file i can feed it in jcl to delete the generations.
Thanks in advance. |

| Some SORT product can easily help to do the required task. Please show your input DSN. |

I'll leave it to you to read the dataset, the extraction can be done thus:
| Code: |
zz=outtrap('lst.')
"listc ent('gdg.name')"
zz=outtrap('off.')
i=3
do n=-1+lst.0 to 1 by -2 until i=0
say lst.n
dsn.i=lst.n
i=i-1
end
/* list is now in dsn.1 - 3 */ |
