We recently went through this with a file containing 152 million records, of
which 107 million are deleted (neither number is a typo).  We attempted to
reorganize the file using RGZPFM, but were forced to cancel the job after
three days.  

So we ran an experiment using a CPYF to another library and then another
CPYF back to a copy of the original file with the three logical files
including the members.  This process consumed only seven and a half hours.  

In a few weeks, we intend to try this with the real thing.

We are running a dual processor model 640 at V4R1.

Hope that helps.
