Quickly, IMS is a Hierarchical DB, as opposed to relational.

Then IMS has various types of files (I've forgotten all the names and acronyms). Of course I threw out all my IMS manuals during our downsizing and moving (since I hadn't had anyone contact me that was using IMS for 15+ years).

sigh.

So allocating via ISPF 3.2 and using that IDCAMS repro is not correct ?
For IMS non-vsam databases, does IDCAMS REPRO work correctly? I only mention 
this because why is there a utility to copy them? I suspect getting 100,000 IMS 
transaction requires a database organization with pointers of some sort. Maybe 
someone familiar with IMS knows. Ask your IMS sysprog.

I'm not sure why someone recommended ALTER ADDVOLUMES instead of ISPF 3.2 since 
you were able to get it working.
