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.
