RGZPFM first deletes all LF members, which can add a lot of space.

It only took a few minutes and freed up the space we were looking for. I guess you get lucky once in while. Thanks for the help. Scotty ____________________________ Scotty Muir SR.

Been there - done that. However if what you mean is that if your file is 1gb and you have 1.5gb free then you might not have enough space for the new copy AND the temp space used by the RGZPFM of the new copy, then that is a different story. Make sure that your free space meets or exceeds the current size of the file.

I am planning on starting tomorrow as soon as possible after a scheduled power outage. At least that way it has a day and a half to hopefully finish. Unfortunately I do not have the disk space to copy it before doing the reorg, but should have fresh backups from tonight's run. Lets hope I do not need them. Keep your fingers crossed.

Depending on the size of the file, the system, and a few other minor (?) factors, the reorg could take anywhere from a few seconds to several days! IIRC, there's no way to safely kill a reorg once it has started. Yes, submit it to batch, but to be on the safe side, don't do it 20 minutes before a "big" long-running process needs to use it. Me, if this were the first time and I needed to get a benchmark, I'd submit it at 5pm Friday, and make sure that, if it ran all weekend, nothing else would get hung up by the file being allocated *EXCL. Make sure you set that job to log messages and check the job log Monday morning. If I had the disk space and was unsure about the time it would take for the reorg to complete, I'd first CRTDUPOBJ the physical and all its logicals to a temporary, one-time-use library, and test the reorg on that.
