RE: The quickst & best CL for system reorg

["Ingvaldson, Scott" <SIngvaldson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, logicals do take up space.  Rather than looking at all of your objects
by last used date, I would sort them by size and look at the largest first.
A system that I used to manage had 29 logicals built over its largest file,
only six of which had ever been used.  Besides saving the space, after
deleting the unused logicals the reorg time on this file dropped from over
six hours to about an hour.

Speaking of logicals, does a logical take up actual space?
I have this logical that I want to delete:
 122198   PDPICKNN      227,577,856       0       040899           2 
It shows a large  Object-size. I asked the programmer who handles this
system if I could delete. She said it is a logical, and doesn't take up any
actual space. Yet is says that it does.
