I have a request to read the oldest GDG to process.  But CSI is slow sometimes
and better other times.

So here is the basic request
File lands as a GDG often

The process needs to read the oldest GDG and then delete it.

GDGs must be read in correct order for time/date processing

I tried GDGORDER on the JCL for z/OS V2.1 and it works great on the Base.  But
using //DDSTMT DD DISP=SHR,DSN=GDDG(0),GDGORDER=FIFO does not seem to work.

Is there another process that could be used to identify the OLDEST GDG for Input
and then delete that GDG?  Or is there another way to handle this situation?  I
was going to see if the LISTC could be faster than CSI.  

The process should be native to z/OS and not a vendor product.  Or
shareware/freeware is okay.

Thanks
