Hi,

Is it possible to copy all generation of GDG to another GDG base. If so, then how to do that?

Thanks,
Farhana

Do you want a generation to generation copy, or all existing generations to be combined into only one new generation of the second GDG base ?

This has been discussed many time before in the forum, but,

Code the GDG base name as the input to your copy program / utility, and (+1) for the output of the new GDG.
