you can read the data by concatenating all the 5 version in the DD statement.

Hello,

Your subject asks about "at least 5". If there are more than 5 do you want all of them, some of them, or ?

Your post is in Mainframe COBOL - does this question have anything to do with cobol? If yes, please explain.

As Gautam mentioned, one way is to concatenate the ones you want to "see".

Hi Ram,
It's quite simple to see all generations by specifying the generation numbers in dataset concatenation using jcl.

What do you mean by "see"?

One ans to the ques as stated could be:

"Go to a GDG farm." Please be more specific.

HI DS,

Sorry for posted in RED colour fonts and in COBOL .just for effective read i mentioned in red colour font other than nothing.
I think we need to concatenate all exiting Generations to read.

Thank you Gautam, hari and Jack
