Hi,

I was wondering if a RESTORE of a VSAM dataset, from a previous backup using ADRDSSU performs an implicit REORG by itself ( I mean whether the CI/CA splits get eliminated)

You can logically and physcially backup and restore with ADRDSSU. The physical restore will not do a reorg for you. The logical restore might, I am not sure - try testing it yourself. To reorg a dataset we usually do a HMIG and HRECALL on it - that is the easiest way to do it. Please note that any of these solutions are not permanent. If your jobs delete/define your dataset then you will again most likely get splits and extents again. You should change your VSAM definitions to respect any changes in the dataset (extents, ci splits, freespace, etc.).
