What is GDG and what is the maximum limit of versions that
can be created?

Answer Posted / 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.

1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.
