There will not be any abend. The first 10 generations would
be deleted and only the last 50 generations will be stored.
For every addition more than the limit(50 here), the first
generation will be deleted. i.e, if 51st generation is
created, the first generation will be deleted, leaving only
50 generations at the end.

First 10 records will be uncataloged if one of the
parameter is empty but not deleted.
If parameters are Scratch & Empty then records will be get
deleted.

Answer / muttaiah
Guys,
Just understand the question and then answer accordingly.
He is creating the GDG base which can hold upto 50
generations. And he is trying to put 60 records in it.
Is there any relation between generation and number or
records?
@Poster:
Limit-50 indicates we can create 50 type of same files
Records- 60, you can put 'n' number of records in this 50
files until there is a space abend.
Hope this is clear.
