That used to be true, but these days the SVC 99 control block has a flag that specifies that the relative number of the current request apply to the current generation, rather than the one existing at the start; e.g., a repeated request for +1 with the flag set will produce successive generations, and (0) will always retrieve the latest extant data set.
