GDG Using IEBGENER utility

Postby saurabh khare » Wed Dec 28, 2016 11:14 pm

Hi ,
I created a GDG base IK5991A.MYLIB1.TEST
[

My aim is to check that if we are passing same generations of the GDG base more than once then what will be the count of the GDG generations i.e will it take the generation only once and give the count as 1 or will it consider all the same generations and give the count as the number of times I have passed the generations.

Using IEBGENER utility I am copying a PS file to the same generation and want to see the result but it is showing something like this

Pls Help me on this :-)

Have you read the JCL User's Guide manual in the MVS bookshelf for your release of z/OS, and specifically Appendix A GDG ? If you do, you will find
For example, if you create a generation data set with a relative generation number
of (+1), the system recognizes any subsequent reference to (+1) throughout the job
as having the same absolute generation number.

Look at this JCL -
//F       EXEC PGM=UCHECK
//STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXXX.UCHECK.LOAD
//SYSPRINT DD  DISP=(,CATLG),UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),
//             DSN=XXXXXX.UCHECK.SYSPRINT(+1)
//LU       DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXXXX.SCANLU.INPUT
//DB       DD  DISP=OLD,DSN=XXXXXX.UCHECK.DB
//FLIST   EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD  DUMMY
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY
//SYSUT1   DD  DISP=OLD,DSN=XXXXXX.UCHECK.SYSPRINT(+1)
//SYSUT2   DD  SYSOUT=*,DCB=(RECFM=VA,LRECL=125,BLKSIZE=129)

Step F creates new generation in the GDG base XXXXXX.UCHECK.SYSPRINT, step FLIST "prints" prints the data set. Here is an extract from from the JESYSMSG data set -
IEF236I ALLOC. FOR XXXXXXU F                                                    
IGD103I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME STEPLIB                                        
IGD101I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME (SYSPRINT)                                      
        DSN (XXXXXX.UCHECK.SYSPRINT.G0603V00             )                      
        STORCLAS (USER) MGMTCLAS (        ) DATACLAS (        )                
        VOL SER NOS= VVVV34

IGD107I XXXXXX.UCHECK.SYSPRINT.G0603V00              ROLLED IN, DDNAME=SYSPRINT
IGD104I XXXXXX.SCANLU.INPUT                          RETAINED,  DDNAME=LU      
IGD104I XXXXXX.UCHECK.DB                             RETAINED,  DDNAME=DB      
IEF373I STEP/F       /START 2016363.1055                                        
IEF374I STEP/F       /STOP  2016363.1055 CPU    0MIN 00.21SEC SRB    0MIN 00.00S

IEF237I DMY  ALLOCATED TO SYSIN                                                
IGD103I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME SYSUT1                                          
IEF237I JES2 ALLOCATED TO SYSUT2                                                
IEF142I XXXXXXU FLIST - STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000                      
IGD104I XXXXXX.UCHECK.SYSPRINT.G0603V00              RETAINED,  DDNAME=SYSUT1  
IEF285I   XXXXXX.XXXXXXU.JOB99472.D0000105.?           SYSOUT                  
IEF373I STEP/FLIST   /START 2016363.1055                                        
IEF374I STEP/FLIST   /STOP  2016363.1055 CPU    0MIN 00.04SEC SRB    0MIN 00.00S

The IGD101I message tells us it created a new data set XXXXXX.UCHECK.SYSPRINT.G0603V00 for the generation data group. It does not also say it also deleted G0683V00 because the GDG is full at 20 data sets.

The IGD107I message is telling us, basically, that the catalog has actually been updated.
