One warning that hit me. We used to do weekly dump & restore of the HSM
cds's.Make sure you make two copies of the backup tape. Either after dump copy
to another tape or create 2 copies with the dump.This saved my ass more than
once. Tape is not even close to being 100 percent dependable.

If the file is defined w/REUSE you do not need to DELETE/DEFINE, just REPRO
w/REUSE. Or, you can use EXPORT/IMPORT, which will do the DELETE/DEFINE for
you (or maybe just the DEFINE, I forget).

But not as easy due to the required DELETE / DEFINE. It __must__ be easy!

If you are only looking at speeding up the re-org process (which implies
KSDS only) would SORT be viable? After all, it is designed to read and
write data as fast as it can - and there would be no need to actually SORT
anything...

Thanks. My boss already mentioned something from FDR. With the comment that
the cost was way too high for us. We're still downsizing. And looking at
replacing CA-FAVER to reduce software cost. One doesn't save money by
replacing a Ford with a Lexus!

Yes John... As far as I know, both REPRO and EXPORT result in a reorganized
VSAM dataset.
While you're looking at alternatives, you may wish to consider Innovation's
