Answer / st
You can create whatever file length you want for any new
GDG version you create. Infact, when you create a GSD base,
it will not ask for any DCB parameters...

Answer / sushree mohanty
yes, since a GDG is defined as a flat file, with a model
DCB, it is defined with a fixed record legnth and when we
create its versions, we just add up new flat files of same
legnth of higher versions, hence they should have the same
legnth.The legnth that is there for the base (0 level GDG)
is carried forward for the next versions.

I have three fields in a Variable VSAM file X(2) Y(10) occurs X times Z(02) Say for the first record X=2 then the length of the file is 2+(10*3)+2=34 second record, x=4 then 4+(10*4)+2=46 If any time if the field x is updated then the total length changes. Is it feasible? Is it
