Betreff: Extend and Reorg PF

I have the need to check all PF if they are getting close to filling up,
even with the extensions.

I can use to get number of current records and deleted records.

SELECT A.SYS_DNAME,A.SYS_TNAME,A.FILETYPE,A.TYPE,
B.NUMBER_ROWS,B.DELETED,B.DATA_SIZE,B.LASTUSED
FROM SYSTABLES A JOIN SYSTABLESTAT B
ON A.SYS_DNAME = B.SYS_DNAME AND A.SYS_TNAME = B.SYS_TNAME WHERE
A.SYS_DNAME = 'UTILITIES'

How do I get the file capacity so I know if the file is getting close to
filling up?

I would do a CHGPF to increase capacity.
