You can use DFU (or DBU) to maintain individual records.
You can also use RGZPFM to remove deleted records from the files,
providing more space on disk.
Finally, you can use Query/400 to filter data and manipulate them as you
need.
This is very superficial, based on the info you have submitted and what I
can understand from it. If you need more information, we are more than
glad to help and put our $0.02 cent on the pot.
Good luck!
