Answer / prachi
export will backup the VSAM dataset into PS..Same thing can
be done by REPRO also...but EXPORT will extract the Catalog
information of the VSAM dataset which can be used in
rebuilding the VSAM datasets..

Answer / nadim
advantages of export over repro:
catalog information is exported alond with the data
cluster deletion and redefination is not necessary during
the import step because the input dataset already contains
catalog information.
also since the dataset contains catalogued info it can
easily be ported to other systems. An exported dataset has
a cross-system portability.

REPRO EXPORT
- used vsam and non vsam - used for only vsam data sets
data sets - backed up logical records
- backed up logical along with attributes
records only
- If vsam data sets has - IMPORT command is defined
to be restore, the to restore the backed up
data set has to be data
redefined and reloaded
from backed up copy
