Something that may help you is the REUSEDLT option on the CHGPF command.
Setting this value to *YES will cause deleted records to be reclaimed when
records are added to the file, keeping them to a minimum.

The catch, at least as of V4R1, is that a record being added that attempts
to use a deleted record's space may be tagged as deleted.  Apparently this
happens because there is a time between when a record is identified as
reusable and when it is tagged as deleted.  I don't know the details, but
this is what I was told.

It only affects files when insertions and deletions occur with great
frequency.

Anybody know of any products that can re-org files faster
than RGZPFM or CPYF?
