In my JCL a GDG is created and intialized with a dummy.

Code:

x.y.z (+1)


In sebsequent steps during backup process it is being reffered as
Code:

x.y.z, DISP =OLD


Which generation of the GDG will be backed up, or all the generations will be backed up?

all the generation of the GDG will be backedup....except the latest one (+1)...since it will not be committed until the job completes..
