I posted some code at;

http://code.midrange.com/index.php?id=44a780a114

The command source is first, followed by the CLP.  I don't know where I got
it, but I know it's not all mine.  Might have been QUSRTOOL.  It allows you
to call the RGZPF program and pass the library name and if you want one or
all PF to be reorganized.  It also lets you specify a percent deleted if you
say *ALL for the files.  So you can reorganize the files only if the deleted
percent is 10% or higher.

Greetings:

About two weeks ago, somebody asked about a "RGZPFM API." The answer had
information that I already knew, but I have a further question.

Until a few weeks ago, we used a utility that acted as a front end to
RGZPFM. However, it was written for OS/400 V3 (or earlier!). We're on
V5R2; we are in the first stages of considering an OS upgrade, and my
conversation with the vendor was a bit unsettling. Something about, "Heck,
you still using that thing? We haven't supported it in years. It should be
OK, though. Who knows?" that bothered me, upgrade or not.

I'm looking at using STRDSKRGZ as a replacement, specifying a time limit,
running it periodically (say, on weekends) to get our disk usage down a
bit. Our main ASP is in the 60%-65% range right now, so we aren't hitting
our heads on the ceiling, but the trend line is very steadily rising. Am I
correct in thinking that STRDSKRGZ is a "global" version of RGZPFM?

If STRDSKRGZ won't do the trick, is there a way to use RGZPFM itself more
"globally" than one file/member at a time? I can probably figure out a way
to write a program to do it, and there are certainly commercial utilities
that manage disk space, but I'm looking for something more in the middle.
Maybe a free utility, or some CL I can plagiarize.
