We run this code over several libraries on a long weekend. This tip consists of two CL programs and one RPG program. The first CL program creates a work file of the files in a given library. The RPG program reads the work file and calculates a percent of deleted records to control the file reorganization process.

The second CL program reorganizes the file meeting the percentage that is coded in the RPG program.

USER FEEDBACK TO THIS TIP

  • I have succesfully implemented the same procedure using only 1 CL program. There is no need for the RPG program, the stuff that the RPG does can be done by the CL. The RGZPFM can be placed inside the IF condition. Do not reorganize if there is no DELETED record or it's less than X% of the total records. Also, you can run this without ending the subsystems (this is critical in a 24 X 7 environment), put a MONMSG on the RGZPFM command. The only side effect is that the file will not be reorged if a job is using it.—Bert Ramos
