While reusing deleted records does decrease the occupied disk space on the
AS/400, 
you must not do so if you use journaling on BPCS files.
I believe that journaling BPCS is essential to any BPCS energency recovery
procedure.
Although BPCS does not include commitment control, journaling may be
invaluable in both in case of a disaster, such as a disk crash, and in
debugging and investigating the BPCS database. 
Setting the "reusedlt" parameter to *yes may cause the journal to be
inacurate, reorganizing the physical files on a regular basis will
certainly render the journal useless.
