Hi Is there any handy way to directly alter the GDG base limit instead of using JCL??

ALTER.

But, what do you mean by "instead of using JCL??" I don't understand what altering the LIMIT has to do with using JCL?

Most IDCAMS commands can be entered on ISPF option 6 without submitting JCL.

HI Bill
Can you give me an example of such command.
I use alter command in option 6 as " Alter <GDG name> Limit(<new limit>) " .
but it didn't change the limit of GDG.
