Answer / krithiga hari
Generation Data Groups or GDGs are a group of data sets
which are related to each other chronologically and
functionally.
Generation 0 references the current generation.
Generation -1 references the generation just before the
current generation.
Generation +1 references the generation just after the
current generation.
MODELDSCB is a model prototype which contains the
specification for the DCB subparameters for all data sets
that will belong to the GDG. Each time a data set belonging
to that GDG is created, it will use the DCB subparameters
specified in the model prototype.

created using IDCAMS with no of version of the GDG.
MODELDSCB is the one we can use some other GDG as a model
to create a new GDG.
