It would be helpful to know more details... In my case, we were receiving a widely varying number of reports that we were to backup and print for our customer. We scheduled the print job to run every 8 hours. The operations staff fit the actual printing in to meet customer needs. Would that work for you? Another option might include merging the generations to another dataset.
