Tom, Are you saying that in current z/OS batch I cannot read GDG (0) and create GDG (+1) in step 1, read GDG (+1) and create GDG (+2) in step 2, and then read GDG (+2) and create GDG (+3) in step 3 of the same job? Or simpler still, just create GDG's (+1), (+2) and (+3) in the same step from a single program?
Not that either of those scenarios makes a lot of sense to me from an application standpoint, but why would IBM prevent you from doing it?
