Answer / guest
Relative generation numbers are updated only at the end of
the job, not at the end of a step. To allocate a new
generation, we would be using (+ with a DISP of
(NEW,CATLG,DELETE). To refer to this in a subsequent step in
the same job, we would again use (+ but with a DISP of SHR
or OLD.

parameters

JCL, i need to use as below:
