Suppose a generation of GDG gets created in a particular
step of a proc. How would you refer the current generation
in a subsequent step? What would be the disposition of this
generation now?

Answer Posted / barani dharan

JES will expand your statments in proc into job.

GDG number is updated at the end of the job only.

So if you created (+1) generation in Proc then you have to
refer the same as (+1) in subsequent steps.
