Hi,
I've a problem when I try to create a member from a sequential ds

//SYSIN DD *
GENERATE MAXNAME=3,MAXGPS=2
MEMBER NAME=MEMBER1
GROUP1 RECORD IDENT=(8,'FIRSTMEM',1)
MEMBER NAME=MEMBER2
GROUP2 RECORD IDENT=(8,'SECNDMEM',1)
MEMBER NAME=MEMBER3
/*

The creation of members is ok but I found in the last record of each member the name of it.

input:

Select all

000010 1
000100 FIRSTMEM
000200 1
000210 2
000300 SECNDMEM
000400 1
000500 2
000600 3

output MEMBER1

Select all

000000 1
000001 FIRSTMEM

output MEMBER2

Select all

000001 1
000002 2
000003 SECNDMEM

output MEMBER3

Select all

000004 1
000005 2
000006 3

Is there a way to skip this record?

thanks

By the looks of it the answer is NO unless you can do something with a user exit - which I did not look into.

From my reading of the DFSMSdfp Utilities manual (in PDF format), I don't think that a user exit can cause IEBGENER to skip a record, although it could make the entire record spaces or NULs.
