HI,

Max number of GDG is 255

It depends on your definition of GDG, When you create 256 generation it either delete 1st version or all generation and create 256th version


Please correct me if I am wrong

Regards
Rupesh

answer to ur second query:

Based on GDG definition there are some possibilites:
1.The first generation will be deleted and the gdg version will lose its volume serial number(for SCRATCH and NO EMPTY)
2.It will be uncatalogued and removed from the normal view 3.4.Iam not sure whether this version will be available in migrated version or in some other form (we can say this for NOSCRATCH NO EMPTY).
some one can throw light on this...
