We have an application that has recently been sunset, but we need to
keep some of the most recent data files that were created by that
application. Over the years that application has generated hundreds, if
not thousands of GDG files, some on DASD, some on Tape. 

 

What we would like to do is to uncatalog and delete all but the x Most
recent generations of these GDG base entries, freeing up a lot of disk
and tape space.

 

>From a long time ago, I remember a utility of some sort which would use
control cards to uncatalog all generations of the GDG, modify the GDG
Base LIMIT to the number that you wanted to keep, , and then Re-catalog
only the x Most Recent Generation(s) of those files.

 

I thought I might find something on the CBT Tape, but without knowing
the name of that utility, I have come up empty so far.

 

Does anyone know of a utility like the one I am describing, and if so,
do you know where I can get a copy of it ?

 

Thanks

 

Mike Egle
