FOR a GDG, the book by 'SABA ZAMEER' says 'We can NOT ALTER
the LIMIT parameter after it is defined'. (p-211).
But many persons have written that it can be changed, which
one is true ?
Answer Posted / rup
In generation program you would have given limit earlier as
limit(5) , You can change the limit by this way.
//SYSIN DD *
ALTER ****.***.** LIMIT(6) NOEMPTY SCRATCH
/*Now limit changes to 6
//
