the <creation> of GDG generation is not related in any way to the process used
for Your foggy request

where
input is the input dataset ( irrelevant if it is temporary or not )
somepgm is a program capable of copying the input to the output
output will be the newly created gdg generation

Thanks
But I need that as a continuation of my older JCL.
I want this in 1 JCL. Recommend me the PGM

The DCB attributes are invalid for SMF data.

Then what should they be? if i replace &&smftemp with the gdg it works and writes a generation though with same DCB attribs

Hello,

It appears you are needlessly tying yourself up in knots. . .

I believe MrSpock has already given you several options.

Why is this a problem? You have to specify correct dcb atributes for smf data - you cannot make up something that you want. . .

As suggested earlier, check with your support as there may already be something in place that does nearly what you want.

Spocks code aint working at all

Hello,

Spocks code aint working at all

What utter nonsense. . . It also appears that you will have a long cold time in IT. . . The name is MrSpock and you have multiple typos (just lazy i geuss).

What MrSpock provided was guidance, not executable code. It required a bit of thought and effort from the user.

Now, take yourself over to the support people and they can show just what you need.

Hi Dick!
we are at loss here ...
the gentleman started another topic with same horse manure

Hahaha No please Enrico. Dick told me to do so:(
Help please. Thanks

Hi Enrico,

This topic had gotten completely out of hand, so i suggested that a new topic be started.

Maybe we'll get proper details and not go onto 3 pages of dialog that was basically going nowhere. . .

We'll see.

I'll lock this one.
