It was similar to something I was considering posting about output to a UNIX 
file instead of a z/OS legacy dataset. Create with a fixed file name, then run 
Co:Z Launcher in the next step to do a mv (aka "rename") to a fixed prefix with 
a suffix of .yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss by using the UNIX date command. I could even 
use the "todsn" command previously mentioned to "emulate" a GDG-ALL process to 
a DD which is a temp file to be read in a subsequent step.

Hum, might be interesting to dust off GPSAM from the CBT and design something 
to do something like GDG processing of UNIX files using "normal" JCL.
