I have faced following ques in interview.

I have 4 steps in my JCL.

Step01 creates a new version of GDG

Step02 creates another version of GDG

step03 deletes version created in step02

In Step04 i want to access the version created in step01.
My question is should I put (0) or (+1) for refering the version created in step01.

in Step05 I am creating one more version.
To create this version should I mention it as (+2) or (+1) ?

In step06 I want to access the version created in Step05
Should I mention it as (+2) or (+1).

Please help.

sorry... JCL has six steps.

Hello,

If the interviewer really asked about creating new versions, do not go to work there. . . While "version" is a valid term, it is almost never used and certainly not the way it is presented here.

IMHO, questions about that process do not deserve an answer - it would not be permitted in production in a well-managed system.
