RE: Retrieve System Status

Dan,

Might I suggest also allowing the sort on deleted space not # of records.
1,000,000 deleted records in a 10 byte record is meaningless, but 100,000
records in a 2000 byte record isn't.

Subject: Retrieve System Status


        
I am writing an intelligent reorg program that will sort an outfile
descending by number of deleted records and then reorg files in that
order until a time value is reached.  The program is already operational,
but I would like to add a before reorg message of the %ASP used and
an after message, giving the users an idea of how much disk we recovered.

I may even go further to tell them how much storage (instead of a percent)
was regained.  

I could do a WRKSTSSTS and parse it, but a retrieve is alot cleaner.
Is there an API or such I could use here?

Thanks,
Dan Rasch - because if the human species concentrated on the really 
important things in life, there would be a shortage of fishing poles!
