Many sites have standard jobs to define their GDGs.

I was asking why would we delete a GDG base and then again recreate it? We should just keep the base intact when we require it again.

How have you managed to copy the GDG base with same properties again?

Hi Robert,

I hve used the following:

Code: Select all

//PGM EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE (YOUR.INPUT.GDG) GDG

But it gave me RC=8. Then I tried:

Code: Select all

//PGM EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//GDGB DD DSN=YOUR.INPUT.GDG,
// DISP=(OLD,DELETE,DELETE)

It deleted all versions of it. Which one is better?

Thanks.

Thanks. When we use WHEN=INIT, does it mean to go to the initial record in the file or in the "GROUP"? Please advise me on this.

Thanks Robert and William for the great explanations you put it. really appreciate your time.

As Robert said, "An index is a pointer that contains the address of the array element" and William said, "An index does not contain an address. It just contains the displacement of an element from the ...

Hi,

What is the main difference between Index and subscript? I read some differences about them online but they are confusing. Can someone please brief them in a layman language.
