Hello,
What is the maximum limit for a GDG generation? In a way, I know this but I'm bit confused - as per the materials available it is 255. But when I have created a new gdg with NOEMPTY, NOSCRATCH option it created more than 258 generations without deleting the previous generations. And all the generations are catalogued. How come?
Thanks

Re: GDG Generations Limit
Mathematically, you can have generations numbered up to 9999 as in GxxxxV00 -- "xxxx" can go from 0000 to 9999. However, if you've a GDG for which you've somehow cataloged 9999 generations -- only 255 of them will be 'active" and will be "attached" to the GDG-base.
When you refer to GDGs with relative-generation-numbers, e.g. (+1), +(2) -- only the "active" generations will be referred.
Just a side note -- You should also read about SCRATCH, EMPTY, NOEMPTY for GDGs.
