Hi John, I don't expect that it would. As far as I know, DF/dss "logical" processing is aware of datasets and "records" (i.e. blocks) but doesn't usually concern itself with the content of these datasets. There are two exceptions that I'm aware of:
1) DF/dss can change the amount of unused (pad) space in a dataset 2) DF/dss can change a PDS into a PDSE I believe that if you want to "reorganize" a VSAM dataset, you'll have to use VSAM REPRO (which consolidates split CIs and CAs).

A dummy question. When I do a VSAM logical dataset restore using DFDSS, does it do a reorganization of the data? I would think so, but I cannot find it in the manual. This would be from a logical dump. -- John McKown Maranatha! <>< Sent from my Vibrant Android phone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
