Just curious, but how does a referback to a relative GDG reference
work?  I.e.

  //STEP1 EXEC
  //DD1   DD  DSN=BLAH(+1),DISP=NEW
  //STEP2 EXEC
  //DD1   DD  DSN=*.STEP1.DD1,DISP=MOD

Is it treated symbolically, in which case a second new generation
is created, or semantically, referring to the same generation as
STEP1?
