Fortunately nowadays the reorg is possible without maintenance window.
BTW: I had similar situations and I learnt to reply "You may not allow
me to stop production, but it WILL stop, despite on you decision, and
your manager decision... However it likely will happen during peak
hours, not at night.".

YEP. management did not want to reorg a DB2 dataset with 100 extents. Did
a batch update that failed when the 123rd extent filled. No more updates
until reorg was completed, about 1995.

Thank you for the confirmation Radoslaw. Whatever I tried with either
VSAM or PDSe, I could not get more than 123 extents on a volume. But I
also never found the right document to describe the 123-extent limit.
SO, I guess there wouldn't be a reason for multiple format-9 records for
the same file. 10 DS9F3 slots can point to 130 extents.
Thanks to you and Bill for your help!
