Example of Generation Data Set Filters

z/OS DFSMS Using the Volume Mount Analyzer
SC23-6859-00

To include GDSs, specify
DATASET (INCLUDE (AAA.BBB.CCC.G%%%%V%%))

This example includes GDSs from the generation data group (GDG) named AAA.BBB.CCC. Each GDS, within the GDG, has a suffix that identifies the absolute generation and version. The generation and version are in the form GxxxxVyy, where xxxx is an unsigned 4-digit decimal generation number (0001 through 9999) and yy is an unsigned 2-digit decimal version number (00 through 99).

GFTAVMA does not filter generation data sets by relative generation number, such as AAA.BBB.CCC(-1) or AAA.BBB.CCC(0). Additionally, if you specify the GDG name, AAA.BBB.CCC, without the G%%%%V%% suffix, GFTAVMA will not know it as a GDG name. Consequently, you can't specify the GDG name and expect GFTAVMA to include or exclude all of the GDSs within the GDG.

Note: Do not put quotation marks around sub-keywords in your include/exclude filters because the volume mount analyzer assumes the quotation marks are part of the sub-keywords.
