The initiator maintains the "GDG name table" (I think that's it) which
is a series of SWA control blocks queued off the JCT.  Each control
block has eyecatcher "GDGN" and holds up to three entries: a 35-byte GDG
base name and a four-byte base generation number.  "+0" refers to this
base generation number throughout the job's execution.
