i have a base gdg consisting of 12 versions like jan to dec. i need to concatante this gdg to anoth..

Answer / sha

Assume, old gdg base is FINANCES.MONTHLY and new gdg base
is FINANCES.MONTHLY.NEW

The code to concatenate the old gdg 12 versions is

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=FINANCES.MONTHLY,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=FINANCES.MONTHLY.NEW(+1),
// DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=DISK,
// SPACE=(CYL,(20,20),RLSE),
// DCB=*.SYSUT1

Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Answer / mdv

Technically, both answer #2 and #3 are correct. However,
answer #3 is better.


There are cases when the LRECL of some generations ( after
some change) are different from the others. In that case,
you cannot use the base.

You'll have to concatenate same LRECL files together and
proceed.
