does it have to be a gdg? 

what about mod'ing onto the file then emptying it out when it's processed? 

back it up with a gdg with that batch job at regular intervals suggestion.

Hi John,

I have had I similar GDG 'thing'.  It would be helpful to know more details...

In my case, we were receiving a widely varying number of reports that we were 
to backup and print for our customer. We scheduled the print job to run every 8 
hours. The operations staff fit the actual printing in to meet customer needs.

Would that work for you?

Another option might include merging the generations to another dataset. 
HTH,

Linda
