There is no such item in the MPE/iX world like Generation Data Group "GDG's"
from the MVS/IBM world.  The closest you can get would be to create POSIX
files
with the same name, but an incremented extension (i.e. JOB.001, JOB.002).
Otherwise, consider JOB01, JOB02, JOBxx-named MPE/iX space file names.
