Total agreement! What I wish were a possibility would be an totally new construct with similar semantics to a GDG. But the LLQ would somehow encode the creation date & time (perhaps to the nearest second). No, I don't know how to encode that into 8 "printable" characters. The semantics I would like would be the ability to get the "current", "-1", and so on entries without knowing the actual LLQ. And the ability to create a new "generation" symbolically (likeunto the +1). Of course, the problem is once again, what is the "date & time". Submition, or job initiation or step initiation or dataset open or ...? Oh, and should the encoding be for local time or GMT? OK, it's a stupid idea. -- Q: What do theoretical physicists drink beer from? A: Ein Stein. Maranatha!
