Answer / srinivas yadav
The maximum number of versions in GDG is V0 - V99.
i.e G0000v00 , G0001V00 ,- - - - - - G9999V00 AND NEXT IS
GOOOOV01 , G0001V01 ,- - - - - - G9999V01 AND NEXT IS
G0000V02 , G0001V02 ,- - - - - - G9999V02
LIKE THAT (V03,V04,V05,V06,V07,------V99) VERSIONS will be
there.
and the GENERATIONS will be 9999.

Answer / sukumar
The generation and version numbers are in the form GxxxxVyy,
where xxxx is an unsigned 4-digit decimal generation number
(0001 through 9999) and yy is an unsigned 2-digit decimal
version number (00 through 99).
For example:
A.B.C.G0001V00 is generation data set 1, version 0, in
generation data group A.B.C.
A.B.C.G0009V01 is generation data set 9, version 1, in
generation data group A.B.C.
The number of generations and versions is limited by the
number of digits in the absolute generation name; that is,
there can be 9,999 generations. Each generation can have 100
versions.
