The issue has been discussed several times in the past. Try searching the archives for 'GDG SEQUENCE'. There may have been a Guide recommendation at one time. Some users run REXX, others use SAS to translate a catalog listing into JCL or ALLOC commands. There's also the CBT program. You can also use a sort, if the records have a date/time key. Whatever, its a BIG waste of time to have to shuffle all of the generations into the natural sequence. IBM refuses to address this issue because "it's too risky", "We have better things to do", "There's no need", blah, blah, blah. If I had access to source listing for the allocation code, I'd love to create a mod to reverse the allocation sequence, removing a long-term thorn in my side. Unfortunately, when I had the fiche years ago, I also had better things to do.
