It will create a GDG generation which is one ahead of the
current generation.

Example:
Suppose the current generation is ***.G0001V00
and now instead of creating (+1), you have given (+2) in
your JCL and submitted the job. Now the new generation
created will be ***.G0003V00

Similarly if you give (+4) in the JCL, the new generation
created will be ***.G0005V00

)If there are 10 steps in GDG, if I want to refer the step2 after step5 . what should I do?

I have a program with an Array of 5000 occurences which is being passed from 5 sub levels to the front end screen. Thess 5 programs using each 5*2 = 10 different arrays with size as 5000. This is causing the transaction to utilize more storage consupmtion. I am looking to reduce the storage consumption. As part of that initially i thought Dynamic array may solve my problem. After viewing the comments given i see its same as normal array. IS there any other way we can resolve this issue?
