It is possible that if you do not have enough space to copy the file then
you probably do not have enough space to RGZPFM it.  Been there - done
that.  However if what you mean is that if your file is 1gb and you have
1.5gb free then you might not have enough space for the new copy AND the
temp space used by the RGZPFM of the new copy, then that is a different
story.
Make sure that your free space meets or exceeds the current size of the
file.

Dale and Others,

I appreciate the additional comments. I am planning on starting tomorrow as
soon as possible after a scheduled power outage. At least that way it has a
day and a half to hopefully finish. Unfortunately I do not have the disk
space to copy it before doing the reorg, but should have fresh backups from
tonight's run. Lets hope I do not need them.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Thanks
Scotty

Oh my.  Depending on the size of the file, the system, and a few other
minor
(?) factors, the reorg could take anywhere from a few seconds to several
days!  IIRC, there's no way to safely kill a reorg once it has started.
Yes, submit it to batch, but to be on the safe side, don't do it 20 minutes
before a "big" long-running process needs to use it.  Me, if this were the
first time and I needed to get a benchmark, I'd submit it at 5pm Friday,
and
make sure that, if it ran all weekend, nothing else would get hung up by
the
file being allocated *EXCL.  Make sure you set that job to log messages and
check the job log Monday morning.  If I had the disk space and was unsure
about the time it would take for the reorg to complete, I'd first CRTDUPOBJ
the physical and all its logicals to a temporary, one-time-use library, and
test the reorg on that.
