REPRO is used to copying from Sequential dateset to VSAM
dateset and vice versa.i.e populating datas to VSAM files.
IEBGENER is used to copy ps to ps,pds member to member,pds
member to ps,ps to pds member.used for concatenation many
dataset.

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

IEBGENER is to copy data from one ps to another ps, ps to pds member, pds to ps , concatnating two ps s and copying to another ps or pds.. so many types of concatnations are there..
IEBCOPY is used to copy data from one pds to another pds.. in that we should code copy command..
