Hi guys, let’s say I’m “moving” (as in the topic’s title) an Adabas file from one DB to another; may I assume the resulting file (basically, the copy of the original one, right?) would keep the same ISNs? Did not find anything about it on the Utility Manual, sorry

Yes, the ISNs are maintained. The ISN is found at the beginning of each record. ADASAV does not change them.

Thank you very much, Ralph! Well, according to my program I had very strong hope to it which you just have confirmed 🙂  
Best regards,
