Verify # of GDG generations

Postby wdesnoyers » Wed Sep 12, 2012 12:55 am

Using IDCAMS, how do you determine how many generations are defined to an existing GDG?

Your question is not clear as stated. If you want to know the limit, use LISTCAT ENT(gdg.name) GDG ALL and look at the HISTORY section of the output:
      HISTORY
        DATASET-OWNER-----(NULL)     CREATION--------2009.288
        RELEASE----------------2     LAST ALTER------2012.252
      ATTRIBUTES
        LIMIT-----------------32     SCRATCH          NOEMPTY


If you want to know the currently defined generations, look at the ASSOCIATIONS section of the same output.
