Reorganized if you restore a logical dump with "VALIDATE". VALIDATE is the default. http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2U290/2.3.10.5.49?SHELF=dgt2bka0&DT=20100623212334&CASE= "3. When a data set is restored, the free space in the control areas and control intervals are reset to the values in the catalog entry. You can override the values in the catalog entry by specifying the FREESPACE keyword on the restore."
