Hi Folks !

Doing "disk cleaning" and I have some programs that rat out files with
deleted records. Along with our 3rd party software apps files I also
have IBM files that show up on my "Files with Deleted Records in order
of "biggest offenders" report:
The top ones are:

Cross Reference Physical Files:

QSYS/QADBIFLD has 273,940 active records and 1,410,315 deleted records
!!
QSYS/QADBKFLD has 18,824 active records and 42,115 deleted records.

and then a BUNCH of other Cross Ref files that are not NEAR as
"bloated"...

OS/400 Document Library File
QUSRSYS/QAOSSS14 has 2,919 active records and 19,625 deleted records.

My question is can these things be reorged ? I know they are CONSTANTLY
in use so it would have to be in restricted state. Or better YET, why
doesn't IBM use the "Reuse deleted records" parameter ??? !!!

Thanks !

Chuck
