GDG - group of dataset that are logically or chronologically
related, referred by name and a relative generation number -
an integer which identifies the generation of a dataset and
is coded in parentheses after dataset name. Absolute GDG
name - GxxxxVyy, where xxxx-absolute gen. number, yy-version
number. Can be sequential, direct, partitioned. (VSAM - no).
Must always be cataloged. Advantage - all datasets have the
same name and system keeps track of adding new and retaining
previous generations and deleting oldest successive
generation. To create a GDG we create a GDG index in the
system catalog with IDCAMS utility and then a model
(prototype, DSCB) on the same volume to supply DCB
information. Empty - when limit is reached all members are
removed from the index, otherwise-only oldest.
Scratch-removed members are uncataloged & deleted, otherwise
- removed & uncataloged, but remain in the system (not
members of GDG any more). GDG number is updated at the end
of the job. If number is not specified all generations will
be processed from the beginning
