60 records.what would happen. will there be any abend for
this scenario

Answer Posted / muttaiah

Guys,
Just understand the question and then answer accordingly.

He is creating the GDG base which can hold upto 50
generations. And he is trying to put 60 records in it.
Is there any relation between generation and number or
records?

@Poster:
Limit-50 indicates we can create 50 type of same files
Records- 60, you can put 'n' number of records in this 50
files until there is a space abend.

Hope this is clear.
