I am posting this for a co-worker.
Any hints are greatly appreciated.

========================================================
I was wondering if you could help me out with a VSAM question.
I have a base cluster defined with an alternate index and a path. It’s modeled
on an existing file.
I’m able to define and load my test version of the file using IDCAMS. What I
would really like to do is to be able to reload/refresh this file each night using
IDCAMS REPRO with a REUSE.
I added REUSE to the base cluster but received an error on the repro. I then
tried adding REUSE to the definition of the alternate index but also got errors
during the repro. Can IDCAMS be used to get this done? I guess the
alternative is to delete/redefine the VSAM file each night which I would prefer
not to do.
-----------------------------<unsnip>---------------------------
Doing this requires that the VSAM ACB be opened with the RESET (not sure
of exact name) option, to reset last-used-RBA to zero. To my knowledge,
IDCAMS will not do this. I have a trivial little Assembler program to do
this, if you want it.
