The Version numbers are ascending (00 to 99). I have not known of a case
where you would create a descending version (99 to 00).

Dddd.Thhmmss?
One second is not fine enough. In a backup application I use
understanding. Version only
allows you to replace the current Gen Number without losing the oldest GDG (due
to roll off).

Yes, it's understood that there is only one version cataloged at any one time.
The question remains: Must version numbers be assigned incrementally?

Total agreement! What I wish were a possibility would be an totally new
construct with similar semantics to a GDG. But the LLQ would somehow

Well... if the system allowed larger limits then we'd probably use them.

think that I would be able to catalog non-GDG datasets with the same
prefix as the GDG base.
Have I missed something?

It seems to me that I saw a thread that stated when you hit GV00 you
will be unable to create (+1).
Is this correct?
How did you handle this situation? Just delete all generations or create a
new GDG?

You're mistaken. It rolls over, just as you think it should. Easy
enough to verify: create a GV00 in a test GDG, then a +1 and see

That is because the GDG is in a VSAM catalog. In the past when CVOL
catalogs were used I think you were SOL since there was no rollover

ICF catalogue -- different from VSAM.

I don't recall it ever being a problem, even with CVOLs.

Hi Howard,
I noted that Linda supplied the required answer to your query about:
