Re: Data Purging - File Downsizing

   I just purged some ancient records from several files & I forget some
   final cleanup how done.

   I have these files which have had stuff older than 2 years removed, so the
   actual data there is a fraction of the records volume that was there
   before, but they still eating the same disk space.

   What I want is to lower the actual disk space consumption, to that which
   agrees with # records in the file, without messing with the logicals or
   growth definitions.  Is there a standard OS/400 command that will do a
   reorg in place to accomplish that for me?  Or do I have to manually mess
   with change file, fingers crossed my arithmetic is correct, kill all
   logicals, copy file, regenerate all logicals.

   We are BPCS 405 CD on AS/400 model 170 with V5R1.
