Do all versions of the GDG have to be of the same record
length ? is it possible to ovverride the dcb of the model
dataset?
Answer Posted / sushree mohanty
yes, since a GDG is defined as a flat file, with a model
DCB, it is defined with a fixed record legnth and when we
create its versions, we just add up new flat files of same
legnth of higher versions, hence they should have the same
legnth.The legnth that is there for the base (0 level GDG)
is carried forward for the next versions.
