When I try to reorganize physical file members on OS/400 V5R1, the system returns with a message "Cannot allocate object #FILE in library #LIBL". I then do a WRKOBJLCK for this specific file and it times out coming back with a message that it cannot allocate the object. This has happened now four times on the same file. Any feedback will be appreciated."
