I'd guess that add/delete of low values and of high values would leave behing different structures, but that the differences wouldn't affect performance significantly; certainly not as much as one ABEND due to failure to prime.
As for REPRO, I'd like to know that too. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

And I'll repeat my question, what is the result of REPROing a properly initialized but currently empty KSDS? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
