17. ABS-GEN-NO (halfword binary)

(ABSOLUTE-GENERATION-NUMBER) The absolute generation number of the table for which a GD command was issued. This field will be zero if the table has never been stored. For more information see Generations.

Note:
In version 5, when an alternate index is defined in memory only, the GD command showed the number of generations as 0; starting with Version 6, the number of generations is shown as 1.
