What does it mean when when a GDG status is ROLLED-OFF. <SNIP> It means that the generation data set (GDS) is no longer part of the GDG. That means that if you coded the following: //SYSUT1 DD DSN=POP.FLGD.FLD100.BYFLT,DISP=SHR you should get all the generations still in the GDG base, but none of the ones listed as "Rolled Off". Now, how is it that you have GDSes that are not in the GDG base? Well, it can be done by allocating the GDS with an expiration date (this is what I see most of the time with Tapes). It can also be that the GDS is allocated specifically (i.e., not with ...(+n)) -- and is behind where the GDG base currently is on GooVoo numbers.
