<Start Disk Reorganization> questions

Arrgh! I am at 85% storage space on my 9406-170 and according to PM400
reports am in the "critical" zone. Performance has gotten pretty sluggish
during the day but I do not know if this is directly tied in to this.
 
Anyway, I am familiar with reorganizing files...pretty much database file
compaction to weed out holes left from deleted records and reindexing I
suppose. I also know that it is difficult sometimes to get this to work on
the files that need it most since the program has to have exclusive access
to the object (usually a high-volume production table).
 
But in trying to reclaim disk space over the entire 400 I ran across command
STRDSKRGZ. This looks like a good command for the job but I had a couple of
questions:
 
It seems to be an "open ended" command that requires I set a time limit or
nomax. Obviously I would like it to do the complete disk system. Does it
stop when the entire disk is reorganized or does it just keep going?
 
If I run it for a set length of time what are the implications behind that?
 
Does it have the same "file lock" limitations as RGZPFM? If so I would have
to have everyone off the system apparently.
 
Any advice is appreciated.

Alan
