A GDG data name is of the form <base_dsn>.GnnnnVmm, where nnnn is the absolute generation number and "mm" is a version and 99.999999% of the time is "00". The only timestamp that I know of the the one in the catalog, which is the date & time the catalog entry was put into the catalog. Normally, this is the same as the creation date & time, but can be different if "something happens" and the GDG entry is recatalogued. What are you hoping for? If you want the timestamp in the DSN, I think you are outta luck. > > > Peter > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > -- I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
