Do you mean compile as in "create an executable load module" or do you mean "create a list of items"?

I read your request as:
- search for uncataloged GDGs
- create a JCL job stream to execute program IDCAMS and DEFINE base entries for them
- then catalog the GDGs?

Correct? or can you explain the steps in your process in more detail?

You don't "compile" JCL; you submit it to the system to execute it.

To start with, how do you intend to determine what GDG bases are not cataloged?

Hello,

How do you have generations cataloged that have no GDG base?
