Reorganization--Not Restructuring

CA IDMS/DB Reorg was designed to reorganize a database and will not restructure it. CA IDMS/DB Reorg will not alter relationships between records nor the size or content of records. CA IDMS/DB Reorg does not decompress or compress records. Therefore the control length of variable or fixed compressed records cannot change. This means that CA IDMS/DB Reorg processing increases application program efficiency without requiring program changes or recompilation.
