≫ Are VSAM GDGs supported? I created the GDG base using the JCL below and was
able to create the first generation, but when I run that job again it tries to
create generation 1 again, giving me a JCL error because the GDS already exists.
Frank,
Check this.

Weird that it created generation 1 correctly (as a VSAM file), but only that
generation seems to work. Oh well!
Thanks,

GDG's are for sequential files. You can make a backup of a VSAM to a sequential
GDG though.
To create a new gen you should be using PROD.CVSC.AHI.BKP(+1)
