New GDG file with same file name version will be gdg(+2).
Reason:

As the creation step is included in the same job so the version for the file that is deleted will be gdg(+1) and new file created will be gdg(+2).
once the job execution is completed the generation for the new file created will become gdg(0)

While creating we will give (+1) for step 1.

Deleting the same file in step 2 using (+1)

Creating another GDG(+2) because same file name.

After the execution of the job step 1 is current generation we can refer with GDG(-1)

which get deleted in the step 2. So the version of that file is current generation GDG(0).
