Mark: For the GDG Base, I see that the Last-Alter Date is today. Is it possible that the Base was altered *to* "Scratch Noempty" *from* "Noscratch Empty"?
The book says "Note: For an SMS-managed generation data set, if the NOSCRATCH attribute is used, the GDS is uncataloged from its GDG base and is recataloged outside its GDG base as an SMS non-VSAM entry with the rolled-off status." In other words, the old gdg-member is no longer associated with the Base, but it still exists, so that when a new generation with that number is attempted, it will fail.
