Answer / selvarani ajeeth

More about Repro :
Repro will be done on KSDS files , To identify the Unique
record.we can't directly copy the vsam file to other
if it has alternate index.So for that we will dump the VSAM
into the flat file and then we will sort it and remove the
duplicates .Only then we can repro it from flat file into
the Vsam
