copy vsam file with alternate index

[manswe1350]

Hello,
I am trying to create a exact replica of vsam with alternate index.

I followed this steps:
1.I copied first a.vsam file to another b.vsam file
2. created b.aix
3 created b.path
4. build alternate index.

My base cluster is 100% matching, but when I am trying to compare the a.aix with b.aix, I am getting some unmatched records.
Unmatched records are coming due to order change, I checked the data and found its only sequence of data which is improper, I would like to know why this is occurring, Please let me know, if I missed any thing from my end to fulfill this task.
I am having a utility CA MASTER PLUS, I tried with batch as well as ca master plus utility.

DEFINE ALTERNATEINDEX

RELATE(TEST.XREF)

manswe1350,

if you reorg your 'a' file first,
and then do the duplication (copy/build)
i imagine that both will be the same.
