Short answer... NO. The data can be kept after it rolls off the GDG, but it is "just a file" at that point and must be referenced by the fully qualified DSN e.g. x.y.x.gnnnnvnn
<snip> We have a business application that creates literally 100s of GDGs a day; please don't ask. Is there any way to create or pretend to create a GDG base greater than 255... </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
