Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To determine the version of the file after executing the given JCL steps, let's analyze each step:

1) Step01: Creating a new GDG file with the same file name.

  • This step will create a new version of the GDG file with a higher version number.

2) Step02: Deleting the file.

  • This step will remove the current version of the GDG file.

3) Step03: Creating a new GDG file with the same file name.

  • This step will create a new version of the GDG file with a higher version number.

Since the JCL has been executed twice, the final version of the GDG file will be increased by 2 (one for each execution of the JCL).

Given that the initial GDG file version is 0, the final version of the file will be gdg(+4) (0 + 2 + 2 = 4).

Therefore, the correct answer is C) gdg(+4).
