Regarding MAXGENS in the JCL - be sure it is less than, or equal to the IGDSMSxx MAXGENS_LIMIT specification.
And you may want to check these (copied from my system): MAXGENS_LIMIT(256) PDSE_RESTARTABLE_AS(YES) PDSE_VERSION(2) PDSESHARING(EXTENDED) PS_EXT_VERSION(2) Lionel B.

Thanks! You're right of course. When I looked and asked about this a couple of weeks ago no one disagreed with the assertion that it could not be done with JCL. This is perfect. Sorry for the dumb question. Not sure what I was searching for that I did not see MAXGENS in the JCL Reference. Charles On Mon, 26 Jun 2023 10:38:03 -0500, Lionel B.
