I appreciate your honesty about living dangerously and your PS on your
failure and I'm thing to myself ... I'm on a 1.4 system ... Should I be
concerned?

Sure, if you like living dangerously.
You might consider allocating a new larger catalog then use Idcams
Mergecat to move the entries.
I would move them selectively ensuring that my most important HLQs were
moved first.
Also you will want to run Diagnose and Examine commands to make sure the
catalog is clean.

Good Luck,

PS. I have had Mergecat fail in the far distant past which is partially
why I prefer CRP. That was years ago and I'm sure IBM has improved the
code.

Dave,

Can this process be done using standard repro commands or do I need a
product to do it?

Catalog Recovery Plus from Mainstar.com will allow you to increase the
size of your catalog, re-organize it with optimum CI sizes and move it
if necessary to another volume, non-disruptively.
In theory this can be done with multiple LPARs accessing the catalog. In
practice I've done this type of catalog work during quiet times on
Sunday.

I suspect there are other products, CRP is just the one with which I'm
most familiar.

I've got this out of space problem in one of our user catalogs. Since
this particular catalog is used by a bunch of STC, I was thinking of
expanding the catalog this Sunday in a window. Here's my question...Is
it possible to REORG the catalog to reclaim "dead space"? I've deleted
about 600 entries but that only bought me about 4 hours until it got
full again.
