Syntax?

That would appear to DELETE the entire library. But DELETE
followed by reallocate is certainly a valid approach. Why not?
See above. It's easier.
The guy who wrote the code (thanks, Steve!) tells me we did this in z/OS V1.12,
so all releases that are still in service include this function, and there is
no need to get FIXPDS or write your own code.
Clearly a different "Steve":

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting either of them.
(STOW INIT [actually, STOW ... ,I] leaves behind an empty partitioned data set
that need not be compressed.)
Is there a non-assembler interface for this? Seems a good candidate
for ISPF DSLIST.
Lately I asked here how I might coalesce data set extents (I've
been using HMIGRATE/HRECALL.) Someone said IBM supplies such a
utility now. Google is not my friend here:
