Hello,

The maximum limit for GDG is 255.

And coming to the second question, its better try ur self to ceate 256 and tell the error u r facing.then u wil remember that error for a long time.

Bye

The result depends on how the original GDG base was specified, i.e. what parameters were specified for SCRATCH/NOSCRATCH and EMPTY/NOEMPTY.
