Dan,

I usually ue the QDBRTVFD (Retrieve File Description) API to get the size of
the file before I reorg and then again after and the difference is a rough
amount of disk saved. I also give a print only option and get the number of
deleted records in the file and use that to calculate how much space would
be saved if I actually did the reorg.
