There's no Samuel in this room! G0000V00 is absolute. For relative you specify foo(bar), where bar is 0, +baz or -baz. The Initiator construct the name foo.GgggV00, where ggg is the calculated absolute generation. The Initiator does put the new GDS into the catalog. The version for a relative GDS is alwaysd 00; you need to code an absolute name if you want a different version.

Is that correct? I did not think this was stored in the catalog, but resolved during job initiation/allocation. If not, then how and when is it resolved?
