Import will pick up the vsam define parameters automatically. You do not have to do a delete/define. If you need to do a delete/define and then import the dataset use the Intoempty parameter.

My question is this? On the import side do I have to do a complete cluster/index define with all the jcl/vsam control statements or will the import function pick up the parameter of the dataset from the exported dataset. And can I Import the dataset back into the old cluster/index ... or do I have to redefine it? Thanks --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!
