---------------------------------------<snip>---------------------------------
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.
---------------------------------------<unsnip>--------------------------------
In one of the manuals, I forget which, under the main heading "Managing
ICF Catalogs", there was a set of sample JCL that demonstrated the exact
process for the re-org of a ICF Catalog. I've used that JCL for years
with nary a problem, although I broke it into multiple jobs for my own
peace of mind. Select a quiet time, check it through to be sure you
understand exactly what it's doing and I think you'll be quite pleased
with the results.
You should also investigate WHY this condition is occuring and consider
alternative mechanisms when you find the problem/issue/process.
