This has probably come up before & possibly even I brought it up.
Seems to me there are objects in QSYS like this one that manage to amass a
large number of deleted records of significant size.

What I desire is

1. Some IBM menu option that I ought to run periodically to clean up these
QSYS objects, like I have in my application management to clean up
application objects.  It would be even better if GO CLEANUP or WRKSYSVAL
could set some standard for cleaning them up regularly.

2. Reminder what the heck this is for ... is there some way to adjust values
of what it includes ... I am having trouble believing that any object needs
to be that large ... to make it smaller, is that an application design issue?

Our QADBIFLD in QSYS is currently
188,890 good records
22,407 deleted records
record length 4,876
meaning 110 meg bytes wasted by deleted records
and 1 gig bytes total size of the file
Am I estimating that math right?
Our entire 400 is only 12 gig
