You can create data sets or aliases with names that look like Generation Data Set names, but they are not Generation Data Sets. In order to be a GDS, there is a particular catalog structure that is required, and you have not created that structure. >The define alias statements end with CC0. Because you have successfully created aliases. >I can reference a generation via the G0001V00 name, ITYM you can reference the data set. It is not a generation. >but not via relative generation or all generations via the base name. That's because you have not created a Generation Data Group that includes those data sets. >Can Alias names be GDS's? I don't think so. >Is there some other way to accomplish this? Create your data sets as generation data sets and define the aliases to be the ordinary data set names that you want to use. Or copy the data sets to generation data sets. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
