RE: File reorgs while file is in use - new in V5R3

The images are in IFS - you CRTIMGCLG first, which needs a directory in IFS.

Going through QNTC might be a stretch - but that's what users are supposed 
to do - whatever the developer did not think of.  ;-)

As I heard once, when IBM moves, you adjust and look for the new 
opportunities, which are always there.
