if my GDG limit has been kept as 50 and if am trying to put
60 records.what would happen. will there be any abend for
this scenario

Answer Posted / anil singh

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.
