I think that in general you don't want to reorg catalogs. Splits have a beneficial effect insofar as they introduce free space in the right places. You might have problems when you do many inserts in increasing key sequence. I seem to remember from my VSAM days that you can end up with a cluster full of half-filled control intervals. -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc.
