Transfer a sequential dataset to an existing version 0 of a GDG file
Problem
Resolution
Transfering a sequential dataset to an existing GDG file overriding the lastest existing GDG version cannot be achieved using the relative naming convention, the WFNAME is expected and a rename will be attempted to create a new version.
Resolution
If the need is to receive in version 0 of the GDG (the already existing last version) it should be managed by the JCL end of transfer procedure.
For example:
The name of GDG(+0) can be transmitted to the receiver in the PARM parameter. You can use one CFTRECV with a reception sequential file.
In the end of transfer JCL, you can use the copy &FNAME to &PARM.
