Using IDCAMS, how do you determine how many generations are defined to an existing GDG?

Your question is not clear as stated. If you want to know the limit, use LISTCAT ENT(gdg.name) GDG ALL and look at the HISTORY section of the output:

If you want to know the currently defined generations, look at the ASSOCIATIONS section of the same output.

That's right. Thank you!
